Bonjour! I give fraction of prednisone pills to Victor since a while to control post-op insulinomina hypoglycemia. And as I continue try to reduce the dosage very slowly (from 1.25 mg X 2/day, now 0.50 mg X2/day !!!) and cutting small pills in more than 4 pieces is quite uneasy... my sister (pharmacist) suggestion is to use an oral suspension of prednisolone (1mg/ml, sugar-free). Do ferrets metabolized it the same way with the same efficacy??? PS. Victor is by now in great shape :) I keep my finger crossed and as Dr Williams says: don't give up!!! @-"-@ @---@ o__o ( 0-0 ) <=*"*=> (. . ) ---------oOO--\Y/--OOo------oOO--\o/--OOo------ooO--\v/--Ooo-------------- Victor 8> Hugo 8> Adele :> Anne Charbonneau Faculte de medecine dentaire Universite de Montreal [log in to unmask] Tel: (514) 343-5924 [log in to unmask] Fax: (514) 343-2233 [Posted in FML issue 1289]
