My thin-soled Paso goes well in Renegade Vipers for riding - they are my "go to" riding boot. I have Scoot boots for him too - but they offer less protection than the Vipers and I don't think he

Re: New Information on Mechanism of Action of Pergolide
Francis,
PPID is caused by insufficient dopamine. Pergolide substitutes for it and this new information shows it also increases dopamine. L-theanine isn't involved.

Re: New Information on Mechanism of Action of Pergolide
Dear Dr. K, all this is too much for my feeble brain. Do we want to increase Dopamine? Would it be appropriate to feed L-theanine, a derivitive of green tea? I have been giving 1/2 teaspoon per day.
