Sometimes there can be an underlying infection within the swollen areas. Did the vet give you any antibiotics to take with the pred? Pinky's rodent ulcer sometimes needs antibiotics.Originally Posted by Snake_Lady
Has anyone else experienced this???? I mean it's so quick.... he was at the vet yesterday, the physical signs were all gone, he had a full pill last night, then half a pill 5hrs ago and some slight swelling of the lip now.

Pred can weaken the immune system
I've been told by at least 1 vet that pred counteracts the effectiveness of antibiotics (probably because of previous statement), so there are vets that won't prescribe both pred and an antibiotic at the same time unless it is truly warranted.
