Not at the moment, but I have a horse on pergolide who we tried on concurrent prednisolone to treat hepatitis. We used a very, very low dose increasing slowly from 0.1mg/kg to 0.5mg/kg but pulses became raised by day 5, so it was discontinued in favour of azathioprine. |

Prednicare appears to be a steroid so could have the side-effect of causing laminitis and maybe have a detrimental effect on cushings sufferers. I would have thought any vet prescribing both drugs would look into possible contra-indications before prescribing. |

I'm not using both but I think that Prednicare can produce the symptoms of Cushings so maybe Prascend could be prescribed to balance out that effect? |
