  Many dogs are prescribed cortisone pills (prednisone) for skin problems but vets often fail to note that it is one of the drugs linked to aggression, especially in dogs with some tendency towards being aggressive. If you do see any change in your dog’s personality on cortisone contact the vet immediately to discuss other options. Be aware, however, that other problems can occur if you stop the drug suddenly. The vet will direct you about how to weean the dog off this effective but potent medication.
