Hi I know:oops: You do not have Bronx on Cabergoline? Her vets will not put her on it because they feel there is not enough scientific evidence to support the use
 
I know I want her on it I do not have any extra money to take her to another vet It is very frustrating that they will not put her on it:oops:
 
Cabergoline has been a game changer for Gizmo. I went through several vets to find one who was willing to test for acro and then take a chance on a trial drug. Would your vet be willing to contact the RVC to get more information about cabergoline?

Cabergoline was like a miracle for Yum. Look at her February spreadsheet. She started it on 1/30/2018, when she was on 11 units of Lantus twice a day. She got up to 16.5 units of Lantus twice a day on 2/18/18. Then she came crashing down to 1 unit.
Her story got complicated, unfortunately. She had a kidney infection, and then she had congestive heart failure from all the fluids used to fix her kidneys.
Her blood sugar is out of control now, perhaps due to the lasix she is taking for her congestive heart failure.
I don't know what is happening, but I believe the cabergoline does work for her.

I posted an email from RVC in the Acromegaly support group: it says if cabergoline does not work on its own, it may work in combination with octreotride.

I think if you copied your vet the abstract from the veterinary school in Argentina (in the cabergoline thread in the Acromegaly support group), he/she might be willing to prescribe it.

Let me know if you can't find these in the thread.
Good luck!

The 3catcabergolinestudy.pdf is in post #109 in the cabergoline thread in the acromegaly support group. It should open when you click on it. You can then email the pdf to your vet. Or print it.
