Muscle Wasting and Fatigue: The use of prednisone in dogs can cause unusual weakness and fatigue. If your pet seems to be exhibiting lethargy, do consult a veterinarian. Inflammation: Prolonged use of prednisone can cause pain and inflammation in joints thereby making it difficult for the dog to walk.
The usual prednisone dosage that is prescribed for dogs is about 0.1 to 0.3 mg/pound of body weight. But there are some cases where the dosage is a lot more than that (even 1mg/pound of body weight). When this dosage is taken for a longer period, the blood sugar level rises, and this can lead to diabetes.
