Talk to your veterinarian on any potential side effect concerns.
Medrol Tablets like prednisolone, are contraindicated in animals with arrested tuberculosis, peptic ulcer, acute psychoses, and Cushingoid syndrome. The presence of diabetes, osteoporosis, chronic psychotic reactions, predisposition to thrombophlebitis, hypertension, congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, and active tuberculosis necessitates carefully controlled use. Some of the above conditions occur only rarely in dogs and cats but should be kept in mind.
Because of its inhibitory effect on fibroplasia, methylprednisolone may mask the signs of infection and enhance dissemination of the infecting organism. Hence, all animal patients receiving methylprednisolone should be watched for evidence of intercurrent infection. Should infection occur, it must be brought under control by use of appropriate antibacterial measures, or administration of methylprednisolone should be discontinued.
Please note product may arrive in a Chewy Pharmacy vial, manufacturer packaging is shown for reference.

Prescription was for cat.much better than injections.only small amount needed followed the vets instructions.very little needed for cats especially our cat is senior. Just like with any prescription we watch for any abnormal side effects.
I have a Shorkie and initially when I bought it, I thought it be larger. The size small as it might be actually works out if your dog is under 13 lbs. Man, he loves this thing. Since he got it, it goes to every room. Every car ride. If the squeaking does get annoying just take a pair of scissors and push in the squeaker part. It will make just enough noise to keep you and them happy!
I expected the squeak to be different, it’s a very annoying toy! Lol don’t recommend unless you don’t mind a higher pitched squeak.
Purchasing my old dogs arthritis medicine has become so easy with Chewy! They contacted my Veterinarian to okay my purchase and I was able to get a larger supply than my vet had to offer, making for less trips to the office. This was a terrific experience
My mom saved a lot of money on the medications to keep my Cushing’s disease in check. Without these savings, my life will be shortened. Thank you, Chewy! We love you!
I have used this prescription for many of my goldens to help alleviate moderate to severe allergic reactions. Getting this prescription filled through Chewy was easy and fast.
