Cypro vs. Pergolide

Carla - I too have had a terrible time obtaining Cyproheptadine at a reasonable price. Sometimes, you can't get it at any price, and I hate to leave my horse, Bug, without for even a short time. Ri

Hi, I am using .25 of pergolide. The vet said we would start small and work up so I guess that the answer to your question is "it depends on the horse". My mare seems to be responding quite well to th
