My dog is on Prednisone 20 and mycophenolate 250 mg for extraocular myositis. I know he has to be weaned off the prednisone. How do they normally stop taking mycophenolate? Any advice on the two medications together in a 14 month old male neutered puppy?

According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, mycophenolate may be given for various lengths of time.

My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis and given a script at the emergency vet for mycophenolate. However, my regular vet has never heard of this drug being used for pancreatitis. Does this drug have anti-inflammatory effects on the pancreas?

If the diagnosis of pancreatitis was believed to be immune related, Mycophenolate can be a possible treatment option.
