My cat has been taking prednisolone for inflammation for a few weeks now. The first week he was on 5 mg a day, the last three weeks he's been on 2.5 mg a day.
It's our first experience with a steroid. At first he was very awake, energetic, and playful. This last week he's still eating and drinking but has spent most of his time asleep.
I was wondering why the sudden behavior change? Is it likely the lower dose isn't putting as much pep in his step, or is it the fact that he's been on it for a month now and the side effects are starting to get to him?
