From Dr. Hutch:
Cabergoline: removes inhibition to heat cycle; has antiprolactin effects. It is given orally for 14-30 days, 5ug/kg body weight. It is 70% effective and works in 2-3 weeks.
Deslorelin: injectable gonadotrophin-releasing hormone super-agonist. It stops the production of testosterone & estrogen. It is used to inhibit LH & FSH. It was developed for mares to prevent seasons (they come into season, then stay out). It's from Australia. It's an implant (called Ovuplant for mares, Suprelorin in dogs. (See peptech.com) that's injected into the lip of the vulva like a microchip. It must be removed when no longer needed. It is 94% effective in inducing a season in 5-7 days. It is also good for a silent season.
