I just got a call from the vet and I can get 100 mg of powdered pergolide from $260 from prescription specialties. Well my horse should get 0.75mg a day. (3 cc of .25ml when on liquid pergolide).

My mare had three violent seizures which led to the diagnosis of Cushings. She has not had any more seizures that I am aware of since starting Pergolide. She has had a remarkable response to this

HORRAY for Star!!! I have been praying for her along with everyone else here. Thank Heaven we still have this Star here on earth with us. Thanks for the update. I have been worried sick! Best

Hi Mary Beth, I'm south of Dallas in a small town called Ennis. I'm being held hostage by undeserving horses and dogs. They force me to slave away the hours taking care of them and all I get are

Hi everyone, thanks for all the support! It was/is much appreciated. Just a brief note now as I want to write more in detail later. Star is fine. The vet tubed her, the mass moved, several other

Chris, Thanks for the good news update on Star. I'm so happy for you both! Now you can relax and enjoy her for a long time. Take care. Susan & Shenny San Juan Capistrano, CA

Can anyone share more on this "falling over" while on pergolide? My mare was just diagnosed with Cushing's and started pergolide last Tuesday, the day before I went on vacation. I come back to find

yes, my horse (19 year old thoroughbred) started falling once on pergolide, too. Fell on me a couple of times. could be coincidental, but I've actually heard this from other owners of cushenoid

Thanks so much for the update. Star is swallowing again and I am breathing again! I was so frightened for her last night! What Good News this is! I think Lucky Star should remain Star's name

I've had several horses choke over the years. Get her to a good vet, not the clown who told you it would move or she would die. She needs to have the mass tubed. Don't wait it could kill her. \

Can anyone give me some insight? My pony was recently diagnosed with Cushings...other than the curly coat he didn't have other bad symptoms (i.e. founder, illnesses). He has been started on

Barbara- THANKS for your info-sent copy to vet to see about giving Sara all the cypro at once.Luckily I ordered the pergolide from Kohls and it ended up being the same price as the cypro dose for

Have you tried massaging the outside of her neck? My mare chokes on apples sometimes and if I massage her neck, one hand on either side and run your hands down her neck from her jaw to her chest

Lynne, Where are you located inTx. i am near Georgetown..your experience sounds similar to mine ..send me your e-mail. Thanks, Mary Beth

Chris, please let us know! The candle is lit here for Star and I am praying for her as well as you! Positive thoughts and LOVE! Kay, Puppy, Becce, and Mira Me If the eyes had no tears, the soul

-I'm praying this works out for you both. I've seen horses with choke and it's scarey looking. Most times they seem to be ok and the mass passes. I'm wondering if the vet can give a muscle

I don't understand why he can't pass a stomach tube and help push the mass down . . . _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at
