Question:

My schnauzer has tumors (a schnauzer trait) she has one on each side of her neck and has a hard time breathing. the vet says not operable. .. do you think prednisone would relieve some of the inflammation and give her relief? She weighs 40 pounds, so what size does do you think she should have? prednisone? depomedrol? solumedrol? orapred? This dog is 13 years old and a huge part of my family so I will do anything to make her comfortable.

Hi Leslie,

Thank you for your query. You are to be commended for researching the use of natural alternatives. We are so sorry to hear about your pet.

Prednisone is a glucocorticoid steroid used to treat anorexia and cachexia and some cancers. It is similar to a steroid hormone made by the adrenal glands in the body. Prednisone decreases inflammation by preventing white blood cells from completing an inflammatory reaction. This drug can cause lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, to break apart and die. Thus it is an important drug used in combination with other chemotherapy agents to treat many different cancers. This drug is FDA approved for cancer treatment.

We recommend that you consult your vet before taking this drug, and then only take it exactly as directed by your vet. If you do not understand the instructions, ask your vet or nurse to explain them to you. This drug can be given at different strengths depending on the type of cancer being treated. Dosage may vary depending on the weight of your pet and the specific type of cancer.
