My Sheltie also has bouts of pancreatitis and is often on ID. Other than that he can manage Purina One dry food without any problems. Occasionally I feel sorry for him and let him have a treat such as a chicken neck or wing and every time he ends up sick from the fat in it. I have noticed that he tolerates the rawhide strips ok but I don't know whether they benefit his teeth. Laura

I would prefer not to vaccinate him however I wonder whether boarding kennels would accept titre test results He is on prednil for skin problems as well as an allergic irritation of the trachea and ended up with pneumonia before he was on prednil. Laura

Hi I have a 13 year old dog who has been on Prenisone for several years. He hasn't been vaccinated for at least five years and now I need to board him. This requires a C5 vaccination. I am concerned about vaccinating a dog on prednisone as it suppresses the immune system. Phoned the vets and answer was they could give him a lower dose of vaccination which will give lower immunity??? Any one out there vaccinated their dogs while on cortisone?? regards Laura ps It is not an option to take him off the prednisone
