Digger and prednisone

Has anyones dog been prescribed prednisone and had adverse side effects?

One thing after another, I've been fighting depression and anxiety close to 2 years, and my boy going through this is really weighing on me.

Digger was on prednisone for a week, and now has whats called Pred Head, which is basically muscle
atrophy/waste. The right side of his head, face and eye have sunk in.

Thanks in advance!

Oh no poor him and you. I’m in a cancer group with loads of dogs on Prednisone. Never heard it mentioned before so must be pretty unusual especially after only one week. How much is he on?

 

Oh no poor Digs, Luna is sending him loads of hugs and kisses to help him get better xx

 

Thanks Christina and Luna!

 

He was on 30 mg twice a day for 3 days, then 30 mg once a day for 3 days, then, 30 mg every other day.
It made him drink so much we had to put a diaper on him at night.
