He doesn't do well with any of the narcotics. Even with his amputation we had to stop tramadol after the first night.

It has been 48 hours since his last dose of metacam, I am going to start the pred tonight. I don't want to see him slide further into the abyss.

Fingers crossed that it works.

So glad to hear you’re starting cortisone.

I really wish it will do as well for him as it did for my Eurydice 🐮

Give it a day or two and you should see big improvement, fingers crossed.

Will be checking for your updates.

Hugs and cuddles 😘🐮💫✨🌟🌹

Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)

Paws crossed for good results. If I recall, when I've had various dogs in Pred for vaiius reasons, sometimes the results weren't always immediate. So ifnit takes three or four days to see a perkier Bender. I remember my Vet told me that, while Prednisone can be a "bad" drug sometimes, there comes a time when it can be a miracle drug too!!

What dose and frequency is he on? How much does handsome weigh?

Extra hugs❤

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

First night on pred was a 180 turn around from the night before. Bender ate willingly and slept through the night (for the most part).

He currently weights 48 LBS and takes 25mg of pred per day for the first 7 days. We may back off the dose after that .

Praying he avoids any major side effects.

YAAAAAAAAAAY FOR BENDER!!!!!! BEST NEWS EVVVVVER!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁SOOOOO GLAD TO READ THIS!!!

And to see it work so quickly is absolutely wonderful!!! Yes indeedy, Prednisone can be a realky GOOD drug sometimes. .........a MIRACLE drug!

Through the years when I've had to use this for my dogs, and sometimes for extended periods of time and at maximum dose, I've not ever had any bad side effects. The most I ever saw was thirst and peeing more. And good appetite too! Hopefully Bender will be free of any side effects too!

You are a ROCKSTAR BENDER!!!!!

Hugs

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
