It will buy him a few quality months of life but will ultimately cause organ failure.


why in the fricking frick would you give your dog something that will call his organs to fail just so you can put off making a tough decision for a few months? put the damn thing out of its misery and quit being a little bitch about it.

I'll explain so that you can comprehend. The steroid can make the animal feel good and mask its underlying physical issues for a few months. If the decision is to put the dog down now because of suffering or buy it cheaply a few more months of quality life, then most intelligent people are going to choose the latter.

How is giving a dog something that is causing organ failure providing quality of life? From what you are describing, you're not buying quality of life, you're masking the suffering so you can't see it. That's fricked up.

There is no suffering until the end. The animals become almost puppy like again. Pain management is thing, my dude.

My dog is very large so he uses people CBD. Colorado cures. We’ve tried brio CBD for pets too. It has a much smaller amount of CBD in it.

I would suggest doing some research on your own and then speaking with whomever is in the store and kind of figuring it out. That’s what I did.

The prednisone is dangerous though. My dog started vomiting a lot on it and I know now that he also has inflammatory bowel disease. I think the combination of the two caused these massive vomiting fits that led to his mega esophagus.

He’s a mess now but I kind of have it under control. If you do keep your dog on prednisone be very cognizant of what I just told you. I can promise that you and your dog do not want to go through what my dog and I did.

My dog and I wish you guys the very best of luck. It’s hard towards the end but if you research and get creative then you can add some time and quality to his life. The CBD is between $40-$60 a bottle depending on what you decide to do just FYI
