At a pilot facility in Singapore, Siemens has cut the energy needed to desalinate seawater by more than 50 percent. The plant processes 50 cubic meters of water per day, consuming only 1.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity per cubic meter.
Treating itchy skin in dogs and cats, STEP 4 â antihistamines and prednisone. Prednisone is currently our drug of choice to reduce your dogâs itch while weâre treating the bacteria, yeast, and parasites that may be complicating her itchy skin, and while weâre running the 8 week elimination diet trial test.
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.
