an e-Vet Clinic site about horse health and movement
OK I make a post about pergolide and the very same day FDA makes another statement about it.

Thanks to Suzzane from SingingHorse Essentials and Cassie’s Story for updating me on this.
The unfortunate thing is that supplies may still be slow in coming because of the original shut down by the FDA.
If you have a horse with Cushings and it is taking pergolide here is something you should know – FDA News
This means that they have pulled pergolide from the market and it will not be available for your horse. Personally I like for people to try using the Chasteberry products such as Hormonize or Evitech, but many times the pergolide is the horses last hope for remaining symptom free.
The Horse did an article last month on this – Don’t know how I missed it but I did – and it contains information on how to petition the FDA for special use for horses – heres the story – http://www.thehorse.com/ViewArticle.aspx?ID=9405
