[Felvtalk] Wrong Pill??

[Sherri Godschalk]

Thank you Robert for the Pill Identifier idea. They actually had given me
the wrong pill and were very apologetic. She was a tech that dispensed
these and just didn¹t grab the right bottle. Yikes. They did in fact give
me Prednisone instead of the Prednisolone. Just from what I had read on
the internet as well as responses here about which one is better for cats,
I called the vet first thing that next morning. All is well and I am
opening each bottle now before I leave the office. Thanks for writing.
