Effect of prednisone on thyroid gland morphology and plasma thyroxine and triiodothyronine concentrations in the dog. Woltz HH, Thompson FN, Kemppainen RJ, Munnell JF, Lorenz MD.
This is a tough question. There is increasing evidence on the negative effects of low dose prednisone. But I do not think this is a black and white issue. Low dose prednisone can cause weight gain, increased blood pressure, worsening diabetes, osteoporosis and increase risk of heart disease. Thus, if you have one of these problems already or have other risk factors for these problems, then prednisone could make matters worse.
