Ok - I have the med in hand but I am really nervous to start it. Should I give her a dose tonight or should I wait until morning until I can observe her more closely? Those of you with kitties on the med what do you think?
 
I had no strong reaction from starting in Darcy. If you plan to give it to Bootsie in the morning each day then just wait until tomorrow morning. Darcy had diarrhea for about a day when we started. After that he was fine.
 
I have yet to see someone see an immediate reaction. In some number of cats there is are some minor GI symptoms, but not right away.

Howie had diarrhea for the first couple days too. Then it went away.

We are doing ok. She got her 3rd dose of cabergoline today. I did notice yesterday she was a bit more sleepy and perhaps a bit less hungry but unfortunately her numbers are not budging from the 300’s. Perhaps with time. Thanks for thinking of us.

Sorry about her high numbers. You probably just need to keep increasing until you break through some of that. In my experience (with myself and a couple other people) it takes about six weeks to start seeing changes... of course, every cat IS different. Maybe Bootsie will be one of the ones who responds quickly (I hope so!)

Thanks Suzanne - me too. I do think she has a bit of a GI issue with the med - she went outside and ate some grass today and is not finishing her food despite her high numbers which is unusual for her. I just would like her to feel better. I have not noticed any diarrhea which is good.
 
Did you feed her a meal right after giving the medication? That’s how I always did it. I gave the Cab right at AMPS time with breakfast.
