Thanks for using Boop by Petco! If you meant a 12.5mg tablet of furosemide, he should be ok as long as he does not have underlying kidney disease. He will be more thirsty and will urinate more for the next 24-48 hours. Best of luck!

My do was prescribed Lasix and I was if I could desolve it in a little water to give her it is a 1/2 of a tablet.
Hello, The drug insert for Lasix (furosemide) states that it does not dissolve well in water. I worry that if the drug doesn't dissolve completely, she may be receiving improper and irregular doses. Unfortunately, it does not look like a good choice for this medication. I would recommend hiding the Lasix in a little piece of food if possible. There may also be an option for you to get the drug compounded by a special pharmacy into a liquid formulation. These pharmacies can also add meat flavorings, etc to make the medication taste better. Your veterinarian likely already has a relationship with a pharmacy that does this and should be able to help you. I hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I have an 11 yr old diabetic dog. Diabetes is regulated. Just diagnosed with an enlarged heart and liver. Is Lasix a good med to put him on? Any food or vitamin recommendations?
Lasix is a diuretic medication used to decrease fluid in the lung if there is evidence of congestive heart failure. The best way to diagnose heart disease is with an echocardiogram, but since mainly veterinary specialists perform this procedure veterinarians often prescribe Lasix based on heart changes and evidence of pulmonary edema fluid on x-rays. If Fred's diabetes is well regulated it may not be worthwhile to change his food. There are some therapeutic diets that are formulated to have lower sodium and increased amounts of omega 3 fatty acids that may benefit patients with heart disease, but since diet plays an important role in glucose regulation there's a chance Fred's insulin requirements could change with a new diet. Depending on the type of heart disease diagnosed or suspected some veterinarians recommend a taurine supplement or fatty acid supplement. You could ask your veterinarian if either of these would be recommended in Fred's case.

My 12 year old MinPin was diagnosed with CHF. Local vet says there is nothing that can be done. She coughs, sneezes, etc. and I was wondering if Lasix (amount) would alleviate her condition.
Yes Lasix can help dogs with CHF but the dosage can only be determined by the prescribing vet. Legally we cannot prescribe it, and its usage has to be monitored by a vet as it can have some serious side effects like dehydration, weakness, collapse, balance problems, electrolyte imbalance, lack of urine production, and a racing heart beat. There are other medications that can be used to control the symptoms of CHF, they won't cure it, but they will make her more comfortable. I'd talk to Lucy's vet about Lasix and other medication. I hope this helps.

I just moved to Chile and I'm on a farm. We have horses and many other animals. I heard someone mention giving the horses ketamine. I would like to know what ketamine is used for, is the animal sick or for what purposes is ketamine used for? Also, do
Hello, & thank you for using Boop by Petco. Ketamine is a sedative, used primarily in horses & small animals for anesthesia. I know the rules about controlled drugs are pretty lax in SA, so all you can do is ask. If you develop any type of relationship with a veterinarian in your area, they are more apt to help someone out than a complete stranger. Laws about controlled drugs are changing rapidly in the region.
