Are these symptoms exclusive to a pituitary tumor?
My vet said that it was a pituitary tumor, but when I ask if it could have been an ear infection she just says no and does not explain why she thinks that.
Can a chronic infection cause a pituitary tumor to grow faster / cause symptoms earlier?
And how quickly can cabergoline start to work?
