My dog is on prednisone and is breathing fast. +1 vote! Yes, that is one of the side effects of prednisone. You have to be careful with this medication - it is very easy to overdose. +1 vote! My dog was just prescribed prednisone and on day 2 started breathing very fast and uncomfortably.
Prednisone makes dogs drink more and pee more. Incontinence is actually a very common side effect. Max was on prednisone a couple years ago for itching, and he did the same thing. Prednisone also has a tendency to make dogs want to eat more, which is one of the reasons long-term use leads to weight gain. It's not uncommon for the side effects to show up several days after starting. Prednisone builds up in the system to a point (which is why you start once a day, sometimes even twice a day, then lower the dose). Unfortunately, aggression is another potential side effect of prednisone, but a dog that already is temperamentally sound will not be as prone to that.
