| Nic - my experience (lymphosarcoma) with dogs with cancer on pred is that they do great for awhile, good appetite, etc., plus the usual side effects - thirst, urination, etc. However, they go down very, very fast. At the first signs of loss of appetite or discomfort, again my experience, you have only hours before they are in severe distress. With two of my dogs it was a matter of 6-8 hours in one case and 12 hours in another.
