My dog's neck pain got worse after prednisone. Should I stop it?

Question

Dog has been on tramadol methacarbamol gabapentin and just put on his first dose of prednisone last night....woke up in the middle of the night in pain more pain than before. He has neck pain. Seems worse more pain. Should I take him off prednisone? Gave him prednisone at 7:30...it's 3:15 am.

Prednisolone has anti inflammatory properties so it' s unlikely to cause a worsening of pain. I would continue it. Is the neck pain related to a disc herniation or is it muscular ? Any improvements? You should really consider veterinary acupuncture, it works very well helping both conditions !
