    Predisolone is also used to treat inflammation and decreased appetite in animals. My beloved cat, Cleo, lost a significant amount of weight due to an inflammed gut/bowel and she was put on 5 MG of Prednisolone daily. Initially, this amount of medication seemed to help her appetite increase but I would urge pet owners to please have your vet take weekly blood as, in my case, the liver enzymes actually increased after 2 weeks of medication therapy instead of decreased so the amount was lowered to 2.5 MG daily for a 7-pound cat.
    Hope this piece is helpful for pet people.
