Ricky's a Cranky Monkey

Our little pup has had a bad 2 weeks.
It started with him finding a mini Mounds
Bar which ended up giving him diarrhea for 5 days
(and making his butt hurt to the point he rubbed it on the rug).
After that he developed some allergy (probably to the rice we mixed
in his food to help with his diarrhea) that made his skin red and
itchy. We took him to the vet for his regularly scheduled shots (a
distemper shot and a vaccine) who prescribed him a bottle of 5mg
Prednisone pills to be administered at 1/2 pill 3
times a day.
He no longer has diarrhea and his skin is much better now, but the medicine (an internal cortisone steroid) has made our little monkey CRANKY... and I mean REALLY CRANKY. He's been growling, biting and being generally ornery. Now that we're weaning him off of it, he seems to be coming out of his funk. Chihuahuas can be aggressive enough without having "Roid-Rage" exacerbating the behavior.
