Pets can be weaned off steroids but it will need to be very slow since she has been on the steroids for so long. I don't recommend to begin weaning Lady Purr until you speak with your veterinarian about the protocol they want for Lady. You may ask if email is an option. It might be faster for you to talk with the vet. I hope this helps.
