Prednisolone Compounded Oral Liquid for Dogs & Cats

Chewy is great and the auto ship is amazing. I have this prescribed for my ferret and he actually enjoyed taking the regular flavored med until our vet couldn’t fill it so we switched to chewy and now we have to force it on our buddy. He hates the tuna flavor. We will be switching back to regular just to make medicine time less difficult for him. It also seems to be more sticky than the regular.

The good: Chewy is really easy to work with and order from. The order was placed and approved through my vet quickly, and shipped with adjusted dosing instructions as it is a different concentration than what my vet originally prescribed. Will 100% use Chewy pharmacy again. But... Not for this product. The bad? My cat HATES this. Cats don't typically like medications, but his reaction to this compound is magnitudes stronger than it was to the first compound of prednisolone we received from our vet.

My kitty Josie takes prednisolone for her asthma. I was excited to see that Chewy had her meds for a much cheaper price. I was even more excited when I saw that they had a new version that wasn't cherry flavor. So I went ahead and ordered it, even though I normally only order something if it has high ratings from plenty of reviewers. I should have waited for reviews before ordering this. This med is a thick, creamy-colored liquid that needs to be shaken before each use (the med I previously used was a thin, clear liquid). My kitty only takes 0.1 mL of the med, so I measure it out with a small syringe. The first issue I encountered is that, since the formula is so thick, a good amount of it My kitty Josie takes prednisolone for her asthma.

My kitty only takes 0.1 mL of the med, so I measure it out with a small syringe. The first issue I encountered is that, since the formula is so thick, a good amount of it stays in the syringe. Even with pulling water into the syringe and squirting it back out I was unable to get all of the meds out. I'm worried that I'm not giving my kitty her full dose because of this. The second issue is that the formula is sticky. The day after my first use, I tried to use the syringe and it was stuck. After trying to get it loose it eventually broke. Fortunately, I have a few spare syringes. Now after giving Josie her meds I have to rinse both pieces of the syringe thoroughly and let them dry separately. This is a small inconvenience, but it does get quite annoying having to do this each time. Unfortunately, even with this the syringe still sticks a little. That being said, I would not recommend this to anyone who uses a syringe to measure the doses. I'd guess that these concerns wouldn't be an issue for anyone who uses a measuring spoon. I gave this product two stars because, despite the issues I have had, my kitty eats it with her wet food with no problem, and she has not had any negative reactions to it. … more

They claim that compounding liquids are easier than pills but my cat hated this. It was disgusting. She was foaming at the mouth after for 5 minutes.
