How much Prednisone to give a cat?

The dosage of prednisone for cats depends on the condition being treated and the cat's weight. For most feline disorders, however, the most common dosage used is:

- 0.5 to 2 mg per pound of body weight, once daily.

- Given 1-4 times daily (every 6-8 hours).

As with all medications, it is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully when giving your cat prednisone. Do not give your cat any other medications without first talking to your veterinarian, as some medications can interact with prednisone and cause serious side effects.
