My cat threw up prednisone. Should I give her another pill or wait?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 8 months old | 9.14 lbs

My cat has lymphoma and has been taking prednisone for a week now. She just threw up the pill right back out after I gave her one. Should I give her another one or wait for 12 hours duration and give it to her another one as prescribed?

If Cheese threw the pill right back up without it being dissolved at all, you can give her another one. Should she throw that one back up, I would give your vet a call right away to let them know that she is unable to keep down the prednisone.
