Cabergoline Questions - timing

Tomorrow, I will pick up Jackson's Capergoline after work. I will start him on it on Tuesday.
I may have certainly asked this before; but how do you remember, or set an alarm for, every other day?
Because it may cause tummy upset, should I give it before, after (how many hours?), or with food?
 
I gave Cabergoline daily. However, I currently have a couple of cats who get every other day meds — and some who get daily meds. In order to keep track of the every other day cats’ meds (because sometimes it’s Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and the next week it’s Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) I have a very low tech means of tracking this…. I bought a small magnetic “white board” that is on the refrigerator and I write down (and check off) which cats get which meds/supplements and when. The every other day cats have their own section. I check off when they get the meds.

I don’t have a cat who needs a spreadsheet anymore. I had a spreadsheet for my heart kitty, Ginger, because she had so many meds — three times a day. I know you did for your Ginger too. You should be able to have something simple for Jackson.

I am really hoping for Cabergoline to really help Jackson!
 
I was so prepared to go after work to get Jackson's Cabergoline. I get off of work at 4:00pm and tried calling three times to confirm it was ready. Each time the phone rang 20 times until and answering maching came on and I left one message. I wanted to know if his medicine was ready before I made the drive.
And then I found a message somewhere on my phone.. that some med had not been delivered and it was not ready.
I called a 4th time and this time someone named Jane (finally) answered and I asked about his prescription and she said did you get my message? and "I was horrified that it was not in yet." She said she would call me tomorrow to let me know if his prescription was ready.

In the mean time, I (we) wait.

Oh I am sorry you are having to wait! I hate waiting when I have made up my mind about something…. especially if it’s something that I hope will help one of my cats!

How do people determine to give Cabergoline once a day as opposed to EOD?

How long should I wait to see if EOD works before trying once a day?

Do you cut the dose in half when it's changed to once a day instead?
