? Cabergoline/Acro/IAA Information

You could consider temporarily stopping cabergoline, if you think that is the root cause.
You have done a stellar job of keeping Tigger regulated given the high doses. I know just how hard that can be. Kudos to you.

The article didn't list any urinary/uti issues in people so I'm guessing it's unrelated to Tigger. He seems fine this morning so I'm not sure what was going on with him. Ugh. Animals.

And thank you. I don't feel like I do a good job some days but it's my best, haha.
 
My Snuffles has been on cabergoline (10mg/kg) once daily for three weeks now. Only adverse side effect is his feces are are periodically more liquidy that in the past. I have not seen any reduction in insulin needs but that can can a lot longer to see.

I think after I know Tigger is feeling okay, I'm going to up the dose to every day. Then when I need a refill I'll just tell the vet I've been giving it every day, haha. Everyone else gives it every day from what I've seen. I'm not sure why he recommended every other.
 
You did nothing wrong. GI upset.is the the most common side effect. It usually resolves on its own.

I started probiotic while waiting for it to arrive. Kept Ollie on probiotic for a week. She never had a problem and she started at 0.6 ml daily. Over time she got up to 0.84 ml.daily.

How many mg/kg is that? Just giving a volume without concentration reveals nothing about the dose.

Ollie's was concentration of 100mcg/ml. You would have to do the math if you want to know mg. I don't have that info anymore. The vet did start her at the recommended dose that was in the studies and I think it was 10ug/kg (UK measures) and we bumped up dose over time until the stridor resolved.

Some of the studies gave it every other day or every 3rd day. That's probably what vet went by.

1 milligram (mg) = 1000 micrograms (ug or mcg)

Sorry Tigger had troubles. Hopefully they will go away. I use this probiotic (since I've used it since Willow first got diabetes) along with a half dose of this one. I hope you start to see the effects of the cabergoline-- even though Willow still isn't very regulated, she usually goes into the greens now, and I've noticed her behavior change recently. She started running around the house like she used to do before diabetes!
