The vet put my dog on prednisone 20mg I can not afford to take him back as asked by the vet but I'm not sure if I should be tapering him off the prednisone the way humans need to?

Answer

It depends on the size and weight of your dog. Check with your vet.

You do not always have to taper off Prednisaone. If you are only taking it for 5 days it can be prescribed as a 20 mg pill once a day for 5 days. The Vet knows what he is doing, just follow his instructions!
