Usually a slow taper is recommended for prednisone since there can be side effects from stopping the medication too quickly, but I would expect issues after just one dose. I would however recommend you talk to your veterinarian to make sure Shelby will be okay without the medication and to discuss alternatives - there are many different diseases that are treated with prednisone some of which are life threatening like immune mediated diseases or Addison's disease.
