Is transdermal prednisolone effective for my cat's lymphoma?

Question

Hi happy holiday! hoping to get your opinion.. Trixie takes prednisolone every 24hrs as just one part of her small cell lymphoma treatment. I have it compounded into a liquid b/c she’s hard to pill and even giving the liquid is becoming difficult. Would it be as effective in a transdermal gel for her ear? I ask b/c I once tried a transdermal for my cats amlodipine and it didn’t control his blood pressure good enough.. wondering if it may be the same with the drug pred. thx! Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 11 years and 11 months old | 11.5 lbs

I have never used it as a transdermal gel. Since it isn't commonly compounded in that way, I would think it doesn't work very well. You could ask your vet or call your compounding pharmacy to ask this question of a pharmacist, who should be able to give you a better answer!
