Welcome to The Cat Site! Both are widely used with cats. I had a cat on prednisolone for an extended period of time with no side effects. You will always be able to find the warnings and personal accounts of something that went wrong. Same goes for human medications as well. You are certainly within your rights to discuss your concerns with your vet. Ask how often he has seen side effects, if you should expect any with your cat, and if there are any alternative meds if you remain concerned about the use of these two.

Which one helps with ear infection and allergies ?

 

[LTS3]

There is always some chance of a reaction to a medicine but it's very low. Take any review online with a grain of salt because you don't know the whole story. There could have been more going on with the pet that the owner is not telling in the review.

Prenisolone is a steroid. It helps with a variety of inflammatory things such as allergies, IBD, asthma, etc. Daily long term use can cause diabetes in some cats but that is easily managed. Short term use can cause diabetes-like symptoms that go away once the steroid is stopped.

Veraflox is antibiotic.

Thank you . The vet showed me how to give my cat prednisolone medicine by mouth last Friday , I brought her home , she had her tongue out a little . I'm still doing research on this medicine . Does anyone know if there's anything else to help her ears get better besides that medicine ? So many good/bad reviews on that . What happens if I'm not here , how will I know she will be o.k . The doctor said don't read about anything on the internet because it's not true .

Which medicine is good for her , Tresaderm or prednisolone ?

Thank you

It depends on what is going on with the ears. I definitely would not use Tresederm in a cat’s ears or on a cat.

Ear allergies . What's wrong with tresederm ?

I have seen it cause reactions. Cat ears are super sensitive and they can have neurological problems from different medications. Allergy? That is uncommon for cats. Are you talking the outer ear or inside the ear? Has he been seen by a vet? Sometimes there can be a polyp in the ear that is causing problems. Ear mites are a more common problem in cat ears. The ears are usually very itchy.

I am sorry. Just reread your post. So, do you know what diagnostics, tests were done to make the vet say it is allergies? How is the cat's skin?
