Ask the vet for a dexamethasone injection, this will act fast and last longer than prednisone to bridge the gap.
Where are you located?
We're in Kitchener. Our vet excellent, though she's not an exotics specialist. I'm waiting to hear from her as we speak, and will definitely pass along your recommendation. She may have to call the OVC for dosing info.
