prednisone or prednisolone is the drug that is prescribed

My dog had the discoid type lupus. She could not take the meds, as she also had cancer of the spleen, and that is what killed her - she bled internaly. At 14 1/2 I did not think surgery was an option.
You would have to research alternatives. I couldn't find any.
