Cat prednisolone: Should I start before or after my vacation?

Question

Hi! Our get gave our 10 year old cat an antibiotic injection that will work for 10 days for a possible URI. She also prescribed Prednisolone 2x per day for 14 days for possible asthma. Cat has eye and nasal drainage, sneezing and coughing. We will be on vacation in a few days and unable to administer the prednisolone for 4 days. Should I start giving it now, stopping it for vacation, or wait until be return to start the 14 day dosing? Pet's info: Cat | Sphynx | Male | neutered | 11 years and 7 months old | 12.5 lbs

I would wait until you return to start the course of prednisolone for Mistoffelees. It's better to do the full course than start it and stop it before returning to it when you get back. Best of luck, I hope this helps and enjoy your vacation!
