Schedule an appointment immediately if your dog shows signs of allergic reaction to Prednisone or Rimadyl. This includes swelling of the face, hives, difficulty breathing, or vomiting.
Contact your vet if you notice any unexpected changes in your dog’s behavior or appetite. Sudden lethargy, decreased appetite, or changes in urination or defecation warrant a call.
Monitoring Medication Effects
Regularly monitor your dog for side effects. Report any persistent vomiting, diarrhea, increased thirst, or changes in their coat. These could indicate problems with the medication.
When to Seek Immediate Care
Seek immediate veterinary care if your dog exhibits signs of severe illness, such as labored breathing, collapse, seizures, or bleeding. Don’t hesitate – prompt action is key in these situations.
Ongoing Medication Management
Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions precisely regarding dosage and administration. Schedule follow-up appointments as recommended for blood work monitoring to ensure the medication is working safely and effectively for your dog.
