For anti-inflammation i use dex for sure. I just want to have the best available anti shock for dogs in my kit, in case i need it. Solu delta cortef has been helpful to me before.
Solu medrol has Methylprednisolone as active ingredient. But i can't find much sites that has "shock" it in the list of indications with real studies to back that up.
http://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharm...LU-MEDROL.htmlShock: In severe hemorrhagic or traumatic shock adjunctive use of i.v. methylprednisolone may aid in achieving hemodynamic restoration. (Although there are no well-controlled [double-blind placebo] clinical trials, data from experimental animal models indicate that methylprednisolone may be useful in hemorrhagic and traumatic shock. See also Warnings regarding septic shock.) Corticoid therapy should not replace standard methods of combating shock, but present evidence indicates that concurrent use of large doses of corticoids with other measure may improve survival rates.

The study also suggests that treatment of these conditions with SOLU-MEDROL may increase the risk of mortality in certain patients (i.e., patients with elevated serum creatinine levels or patients who develop secondary infections after SOLU-MEDROL).
