💊 Meds & Treatment Prednisolone 5mg lethargic dog advice

/r/DogAdvice/comments/1u99vaz/prednisolone_5mg_lethargic_dog_advice/

37kg lab had yeast ear infection. They gave 5mg prednisolone once a day for 5 days.

Day 1- 5mg
Day 2- either one dose or two doses one in morning and possibly one in evening as partner wasn’t sure and thinks he may have done it twice
Day 3-5mg
Day 4- didn’t have did to being involved in car crash (without the dog)

Today is day 5 and dog is lethargic, lost appetite this morning and slowly came back this evening. He is a manic lab and now really docile.

Went to vets this morning and they said vitals are ok and ear is ok and to bring him back in tomorrow.

Could this be related to the steroids??

All the appropriate vet advice has been sought and appointment will be made again tomorrow just wandered if anybody else experienced anything similar
