Hi friends,
Long story short so I don't bore you. My Ruby is on Prednisolone for asthma. She takes a low dose [half of a 5mg pill every second day], and is tolerating it well. She had a vet appointment yesterday for a one year check up and after discussing side effects and other treatment options, we kept her on the same dose, and will watch for any adverse side effects.
Here is my question. The tablets she was on before were about the size of a pencil eraser in diameter, and white, with a clear scoring down the middle. Yesterday, when I got her pills, I didn't look at them until I got them home, and opened them up. They're much smaller and blue, with no markings or scoring. Of course, the vet is closed until Monday, so I can't ask them if it's normal for the pills to look so different.
Has anyone else experienced this? I gave her a half of one last night as the vet put her on a daily regiment for a week to clear up her lungs, and she seems fine today.
