Unfortunately, we are not permitted to give out drug dosages without a veterinarian - client - pet relationship. If you are seeking this information, I would obtain it through a veterinarian in person or through a veterinary formulary such as Plumb's or Merck. Hope this makes sense.

Hi there, you could try increasing it to 30 mg twice a day. In general a standard dose is 2mg/kg twice a day. If frusemide should not work , a new diuretic could be added such as spironolactone. I would recommend to discuss this with your vet. Hope this helps !

Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Troy. Poor boy! Do not give him extra enalapril. It sounds like he may need more furosemide. Dogs with heart disease have fluid build up in their lungs because the heart doesn't pump correctly causing the coughing. Furosemide is a diuretic, which means it gets rid of excess fluid helping stop the cough. Take him back into the vet to get more furosemide. I hope this helps!

Hi and thank you for posting on Boop by Petco! Gosh, I am sorry to hear this with Scooby. Lasix will not help much with edema that is because of an inflammatory response such as a bacterial infection. It will however work for subcutaneous edema or fluid in the chest caused from heart failure or liver failure. I would advise against giving anything that was not directed or prescribed by your veterinarian. I would try and see your veterinarian as soon as he/she gets back into the office for an exam or you may also visit an emergency veterinarian for an exam. The swelling may be due to the infection or perhaps evidence of liver or heart disease. It is important to determine what the cause is so the proper treatment can be administered. Thanks for posting and best of luck to you and Scooby.

You will need to have flavored medications made at a special pharmacy called a compounding pharmacy. Your vet may know of a local compounding pharmacy that may make flavored medications, so I would check with them. If they do not have a suggestion, I have been very pleased with Road Runner Pharmacy ( https://www.roadrunnerpharmacy.com/ ). Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
