Is veterinary prednisolone available as injection?

Yes, veterinary prednisolone is available as an injection. It's often available in two forms:

* Prednisolone sodium succinate: This is the most common form used for injections. It's a water-soluble steroid that can be given intravenously (IV), intramuscularly (IM), or subcutaneously (SC).

* Prednisolone acetate: This form is usually given as an injection directly into a joint (intra-articularly).

It's important to note:

* Veterinary prednisolone injections should only be administered by a licensed veterinarian. The dosage and route of administration will depend on the animal's species, weight, and condition.

* Prednisolone is a powerful medication with potential side effects. These can include increased thirst, hunger, urination, and weight gain, as well as suppression of the immune system.

* Long-term use of prednisolone can lead to serious health problems. Your vet will monitor your pet closely if they are on prednisolone for an extended period.

Always consult your veterinarian before giving any medication to your pet, including prednisolone.
