According to The Pill Book Guide to Medication For Your Dog and Cat (Kate A.W. Roby, VMD, et al, 1998), cats are started off at 1 mg of prednisone per pound that the cat weighs. This is given one or two times a day. When the cat seems better, one dose is given every other day until the cat is cured.
The longer the prednisone was taken and the higher the dose, the longer it will take to taper down and stop it. The body itself produces a substance that is equivalent to about 5 mg of prednisone. A short course of 10 mg of prednisone a day may not cause side effects. However, either a dosage of 10 to 20 mg a day for a month or moreâor a dosage of more than 20 mg a day for any length of timeâcould cause some adverse effects. As the prednisone dosage is tapered down below 10 mg a day and eventually discontinued, the temporary side effects will lessen and reverse.
