CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Cabergoline was effective in normalizing IGF-1 concentration in 26% of cats. Cabergoline improved diabetes control and was associated with remission of DM in 35% of cases. Cabergoline could be a treatment option for cats with HST and DM, especially in those cases with a relatively small pituitary tumor.

Awesome find Larry! Blows the findings of the much smaller RVC study out of the water. I'm glad the researchers from South America got their research published.

 

Just passed this along to my vet. I was just searching acro articles yesterday, glad you found this!

 

Thank you! I’m having trouble convincing my vet that we want to try Cabergoline— maybe this will help.

 

Larry, how do you get the full text of this article? All I can get is the abstract (apart from paying $75.00).

 

Full paper attached.

 

Thank you very much @Wendy&Neko
