| 5152 | Howard and Pat Parker | We have a 23-year-old Quarter Horse gelding who has been on Pergolide for 1 1/2 years. His Cushing's symptoms have virtually disappeared, and he is alert, energetic, and looks and acts like a horse many years younger. We have a second 20-year-old Quarter Horse gelding who may be exhibiting the early symptoms of Cushing's disease. We are currently having him tested. These are our only two horses, and we very much want Pergolide to remain available for them. |
| 5153 | Joy Comtois | I have a horse with Cushings. I am controlling it with diet for now, but will need the drug in the future. |

| 5156 | Susan Archer | Pergolide has saved my 10 year old trail horse from certain death. He is now under control/Cushing's and I can actually ride him lightly.
Please do not take this wonderful drug off of the market for our horses so that they may have a chance to live a longer more productive life. |
| 5157 | Carol Stover | I am the owner of a 27 year old chestnut mare who has been on pergolide for two years for cushing's disease. Pergolide is what keeps her happy, healthy and sound. She is doing wonderfully on pergolide and needs it. |
| 5158 | Marianne Reinmuth | We have a mini that has made a 100% turnaround with proper diet and Pergolide. What a wonderful drug! We thought we might have to put him down until putting him on this. |
| 5159 | Tammy McKeever | My elderly pony has Cushing's and is currently on Pergolide. I do not want to lose her because her medicine is no longer available. |
| 5160 | Jean Bland | Pergolide for horses must be continued. My veterinarian tells me there are 2 million horses in the USA who need this medication to keep them alive. I suggest a class action suit if we can no longer get this medication for our horses. Jean Bland |

| 5167 | Linda S. Reeger | My 26 year old mare has been on Pergolide for 2 years now. I feel with constant monitoring & slight increases in the dosage as she ages she'll have a happy comforable life for a few more years than had she not had it. Don't deny we horse owners of something that helps our beloved horses. |
| 5168 | Anne Summers | Please continue to make Pergolide available to people who own horses and ponies. Without her pergolide, my daughter's pony will suffer and die. This wonderful old mare has taught a little girl the joy of loving a horse and should not hae to live out her years in pain. A little girl should not have to grieve the loss of a beloved friend. |
| 5169 | Tracey Hilker | Our "Danny" was just diagnosed with Cushings. We almost lost him to founder that was worsened because of the Cushing. We are counting on Pergolide to help return our 15-year-old to health. Please help us by keeping this medication available for the equine community!!!! |
| 5170 | Maria Byman | This has even effected horses in Sweden. I can no longer get pergolide for my horse. She has been doing really well on it for the past two years. Now I have no idea what to do...

| 5171 | Basil and Shirley Howson | We have a 24 year old horse with Cushings and rely on Pergalide. It will be very distressing to see him decline so quickly without it. |
| 5172 | Christina von Glahn | Please keep this drug available for horses. My mare was just diagnosed with cushings and this is her best hope to be comfortable in life. I also have several friends who have horses on Pergoide. These animals are like a family member to us. |

| 5176 | kirsi makinen | We have one horse with PPID and here in Filand there is many horses, who needs Pergolide. I have Pergolide for 120 days forward and if I don`t get more my horse will be dead-->laministis. |
| 5177 | cockrill | my horse has been diagnosed with cushings. but as a result of the pergolide drug i feel confident of a longer happy semi retirement for him, he has such style and spirit that i could not bare to see him suffer but he deserves so much more . so please keep this drug available . |
| 5178 | Kim Westfall | My great riding partner is a 23 year old POA mare. Pergolide has brought her back from having Grand Mal Seizures to a normal life. We even go riding about 4 times a week. Without the medicine, her seizures would return and her life would be over. |

| 5180 | Dianne Middleton | My daughter was given an Arabian mare last month. She is an angel. My 10 year old is a very timid rider but she has found a trusted companion in Scarlet. When we agreed to take her I thought she might have cushings because of her extremely long coat and sway back, but she is worth the amount of money we are putting into her for her special feed, medicine, and supplements. She has only been here for a short time but she is part of the family and I would like to keep her happy and healthly as long as possible. Pergolide helps make sure that happens! Thank you, Dianne |
| 5181 | Elizabeth VandeRyt | I just acquired a horse with cushing's disease and plan to put him on pergolide. I have seen this drug do wonders on horses, a horse I know was put on it right after she was diagnosed with cushions and you couldn't tell without laking her blood! It is truley an amazing drug that our elderly horses desperatly need! |
| 5182 | Dr Caroline Foote, Equine Consulting Services | I am an independent nutritional consultant and do some consulting for an Australian company (Ranvet) who are currently trialling a pergolide mesylate product under an APVMA permit. Results have been very promising so far and it looks like the product will be available for worldwide distribution within the next three months. Will keep our fingers crossed, pergolide has been a saviour for many of our aged companions. |
| 5183 | Priscilla Spendlove | As an equine nutritionist working for Ranvet™ in Australia, metabolic disturbances are commonplace and Equine Cushing’s syndrome has been acknowledged as the most common endocrinopathy of horses, documented to affect more than 10% of horses over the age of 15 years. This syndrome is a highly prevalent condition which has significant medical and welfare ramifications and may often result in premature death in the absence of effective treatment.
Based on numerous scientific clinical trials, it has been ascertained that pergolide mesylate provides highly effective treatment for sufferers of Cushing’s syndrome, providing a target-specific medication option which has been proven (by scientific and anecdotal evidence) to be the most effective treatment available. Australia has a similar demographic of horses suffering from this insidious syndrome, as in common with the USA, and Ranvet™ has recently conducted a robust questionnaire based drug efficacy study through collaboration with veterinarians and horse owners. Responses to treatment efficacy have been highly favourable, thereby giving me great pleasure to inform you that Ranvet™ anticipate facilitating the distribution of pergolide for equine use to the USA within the upcoming 3 months.
If you should have any questions or would like further information regarding veterinary or nutritional assistance in treating horses suffering from Cushing’s syndrome, please view the ‘Veterinary’ section at www.ranvet.com.au or email me directly with enquiries at priscilla@ranvet.com.au |

| 5186 | jacqueline durkin | My 23 year old horse was diagnosed with Cushings Disease 7 months ago. I have been treating her with pergolide since. She has made remarkable progress since I have been treating her with it, she is no longer depressed or lame from laminitis and she is back enjoying life to the full. The last thing I want to do is stop treating her and watch her health and quality of life decline. So please do not remove this drug from circulation and force me to watch my horse or any other horses suffer. |

| 5188 | Alexandra Leonard | My horse is 25 and has been treated with pergolode for the last 5 years. Each time the vet visits they are amazed at how well he is considering he has cushings disease because he was so ill at the time he was diagnosed. |
