It's only day 5 of my horses being on pergolide and I can see real improvement in the laminitis that has lasted 3 months. The 5 YO was careful at walk last week. Today, she was playing at trot,

Hi Patty, Glad things are starting to improve. We're experimenting with Majestad and the pergolide. My vet started him on 2mg and we kept him at that level for about 3 months. His March blood work
