    Great find Larry, thanks for posting. Of course, we have Marvin (2017), Gizmo, and Tiffany (both 2018) that went OTJ on cabergoline too and before the cats on this study. But it's great to see a paper describing how they got there, and how long. Interesting to note all on a every other day treatment. And that one cat needed the treatment tapered down even more after being OTJ.

    Interesting quotes:

    This is a great find - hopefully it'll help people whose vets have been reluctant to prescribe it. Again from the paper:
    As they also noted, radiotherapy does not normalize IGF-1 either.

    Great find! We're day 6 OTJ after starting cab July 1, quite a ride down. Interesting about reducing it even further for the one cat, I had wondered about "how low is too low" while on cab but off insulin.
