Cat's breathing problems returned. Can I give leftover prednisolone?

Question

I started my cat on prednisolone about two months ago and ended up weaning him off soon after because he seemed to be doing better. His breathing started acting up again and I wanted to know if I could start his medication again since I still have some left?

Unfortunately, we are legally prohibited from telling you to medicate your cat in the absence of a physical exam. It may be that the Pred may help, but there is the possibility that the symptoms are not related to a prior diagnosis/condition. Having Lincoln rechecked by your veterinarian would be the safest course of action. At the very least, contact your veterinarian and discuss the symptoms.
