Boomer is on a tapering schedule for prednisone for stenosis of the spinal canal in the cervical vertebrae (wobbler's syndrome). I took him to the specialist when he started falling down more and seemed generally more unstable. Since he's been home, I've seen quite an improvement in his balance, no doubt due to the steroids. We're on week 3, getting ready to go to 10 mg every other day. <br>
<br>I phoned his regular vet today to find out what the negatives are in continuing on this path of treatment, and he said Cushing's disease is a major side effect. He thinks the every other day program might be good for Boomer, at least until I find the money to pay for his surgery. <br>
