My vet insists on fasting. One time I forgot and the ACTH jumped sky high. My horse is not IR. I realize the fasting test results are not the same as nonfasting, but look at their rise and fall and th

My Rudy, who is not IR, gets his compounded pergolide in a pellet-sized capsule that I usually mix in with his plain oats. I watch a minute to make sure he takes it in and doesn't dribble it out (rare

I have a stubborn gelding who won't take the tube of wormer easily. I get apple flavored Ivermectin and put it in the oats i give him. He eats it right up. I have wormed my horses with ivermectin for

I use Thriving Pets and pay $81.00 plus shipping for sixty 4 mg capsules. They give excellent service. www.thrivingpets.com They will call your vet to get the prescription.

Oops@ Make that 20%, but still a nice savings. :-) Judy & Rudy 2014

Thriving Pets has a thirty per cent discount on compounded Pergolide through October 31. They moved from one state to another and had to re-establish their pharmacy. My horse has done well on their Pe

I would like to try giving chaste berries along with the pergolide to see if it helps with the hair coat. What is the dosage and is the powder or the whole berries better? Judy and Rudy Barry County,

That is what I do. I put 20 pills and on top of some cotton balls in three old prescription bottles so they aren't all exposed to air when opened every day. Rudy's ACTH was the lowest I had seen it be

Yes! I received a call from them. They are compounding again. :) Judy and Rudy Southwestern Missouri 2012?

I think a half inch below the muzzle would be sufficient. Tough 1 muzzles have worked well for my horses. Judy & Rudy Southwest Missouri 2012

Well, I know my prescription is good till 5/9/2017, so I didn't ask him about that per se, don't intend to move it at this time.

It is good for now, but by January I may need the vet to renew it. I believe he wants to keep his customers.

That is rather discouraging research about pergolide efficacy over time. But, what is one to do? I suppose Prascend is more stable, but I cannot afford 4 mg of that a day. I had better stick to orderi

This strikes terror into my heart as well. I have used Thriving Pets for more than a year. Now, I must find a new source for compounded pergolide and get my vet to approve??? Judy and Rudy Cassville,

I bought clippers from Barbara at the Clipper Barn of CT and clipped my Cushings horse Rudy last week. He looks great, and I know he must feel so much better in our humid 90 degree days! :) Judy in SW

Deb, that is most interesting about the small clipper. Thanks! Certainly the cordless feature is a real plus. Cords get in the way when you only have one hand and your horse moves around. At least I k

Thanks, Kerry. No, my horse is an outdoor pasture horse. What you are telling me suggests that the Andis won't do. I don't need fancy, but I need sturdy and workable. I should have mentioned that I on
