Prednisone Is there a non-script replacement for Prednisone. This may sound really dumb, but we have a dog with big time alergies and the only thing that will help him is Prednisone. Problem is that the Vet wants to run $200 - $300 worth of blood test every month before they will renew the script. Needless to say, we really can't afford this. The dog is 14 years old and nothing else helps with the alergies. Wednesday, 11/19/2008 7:19:33 AM 1 Reply
