Thank you for submitting your question regarding CJ. The amount of the drug you are giving depends on the concentration. You need to know how many milligrams of prednisone are in each milliliter you are giving. Furthermore, it depends on if he was prescribed an anti-inflammatory dose or an immunosuppressive dose of the medication. This is dependent on the condition being treated. Finally, cats should be given prednisolone. They metabolize it more effectively than prednisone. I am sorry that this dose answer your question, it more information is needed. I recommend contacting the prescribing veterinarian for more details. Thanks!
