Compounded Prednisolone for Pets
Cats specifically require prednisolone (NOT prednisone — cats convert prednisone to prednisolone poorly). Compounded flavored suspensions make daily dosing for IBD, allergies, and asthma sustainable.
Why Chewy Pharmacy can't fulfil this prescription
Chewy stocks commercial prednisolone tablets. No flavored liquid for cats. Long-term daily tablet administration is the actual barrier.

Species-specific benefit
Feline asthma and chronic IBD require months to years of corticosteroid maintenance. Compounded flavored prednisolone liquid is the practical long-term form.
