Dr. Peterson,
Today my 4yr old poodle went to the groomer - we had given her a double dose of her Prednisone. After being groomed she was hyperventilating very badly for a short time. I gave her a double dose to avoid stress. Is there anything further I can do in the future when she has to go to the groomer. Thank you.
Giving your dog a double dose of prednisone in advance of a stressful situation is a good idea. Other than tranquilizers, which I would only use as a last resort, there is nothing else that I know of that you can do. With the double dose of prednisone, you have the Addison's covered.
