Can I just stop pergolide?

Hi there,

I really appreciate all the help I got this fall with my horse! I have another question for you all.

I did my best to follow the search guidelines here (https://ecir.groups.io/g/main/wiki/How-to-Search-the-Archives), using the + sign or " ", but they didn't seem to be working as intended, so I had trouble finding the answer on my own.

If my horse is just on 1mg of pergolide, is it fine to just stop it, or do I truly need to wean him off?

He was borderline in August, but having some foot tenderness and his topline is not so good, so at the vet's advice I put him on pergolide. However, he isn't eating all that well lately and the seasonal rise should be over, so I'd like to take him off and do a better baseline ACTH test in March or so.
