In: Dogs (Canines), Medication and Drugs, Dog Health, Painkillers, Steroids, Anti-Inflammatories [Edit categories]

Answer:

Prednisone is a steroid. The side affects include an increased appetite. Make sure all food is out of reach of your dog because they will find crafty ways to reach it. Also your dog will want to drink tons and tons of water. Only put a little bit in the water bowl at a time to prevent the dog from drinking too much water.
