Large Dog 5. Active Filters. My vet prescribed Lasix, which is this same medication, but the name brand or my now 13 year old "rescue kitty, Gizzy. I "rescued" Gizzy from under a pile of wooden pallets on our ranch in when he was about 3 weeks old. At some point in his life he started sneezing uncontrollably, coughing and throwing up clear liquid. I took Gizzy to the vet and found out he had some type of heart issue so the vet placed him on 10mg of the liquid Lasix once a day I use a syringe without the needle to give him the medicine.
After being on Lasix for 3 months and paying a fortune for it from my vet and having to go pick it up, I checked with petmeds and found they had Furosemide which is the generic brand of Lasix and so much cheaper, but does just as well and they deliver it right to my door.
He is now 13 years old. Without this medication I sincerely doubt Gizzy would be with me today. I highly recommend Furosemide for your cats if your Vet recommends it. Gizzy's mom. Would recommend this product. Yes - 4 No - 0 Report. I love PetMeds.
Big mistake. Had to over night this one and he was fine again. Very scary. Yes - 1 No - 0 Report. Yes - 0 No - 0 Report. I thought my dog was going to die imminently and instead is feeling so much better, energetic. Vet gave a dose in the office which immediately helped and I give twice a day.
Yes - 3 No - 0 Report. I wish you could put the meds in an easy open bottle. They are hard for me to open. My meds are even in an easy open container. Yes - 0 No - 3 Report. I'm very Happy that there is Pet Meds, you supply the exact same Meds as Vet but way cheaper and with a Dog going through Heart Failure the costs of Meds is very Important in her treatments and comfort.

Yes, small white pill. What is Furosemide Salix? Cautions: Keep plenty of water available for your pet or horse to drink. What should I discuss with my veterinarian before giving Furosemide Salix to my pet or horse? How should Furosemide Salix be given? What are the potential side effects of Furosemide Salix? What happens if I miss giving a dose of Furosemide Salix? Potassium supplementation may be necessary in cases routinely treated with potassium-depleting steroids. SALIX is a highly effective diuretic and if given in excessive amounts as with any diuretic may lead to excessive diuresis which could result in electrolyte imbalance, dehydration and reduction of plasma volume enhancing the risk of circulatory collapse, thrombosis, and embolism.
Therefore, the animal should be observed for early signs of fluid depletion with electrolyte imbalance, and corrective measures administered. Excessive loss of potassium in patients receiving digitalis or its glycosides may precipitate digitalis toxicity. Caution should be exercised in animals administered potassium-depleting steroids. It is important to correct potassium deficiency with dietary supplementation. Caution should be exercised in prescribing enteric-coated potassium tablets.
There have been several reports in human literature, published and unpublished, concerning non-specific small-bowel lesions consisting of stenosis, with or without ulceration, associated with the administration of enteric-coated thiazides with potassium salts. These lesions may occur with enteric-coated potassium tablets alone or when they are used with nonenteric-coated thiazides, or certain other oral diuretics.
These small-bowel lesions may have caused obstruction, hemorrhage, and perforation. Surgery was frequently required, and deaths have occurred. Available information tends to implicate enteric-coated potassium salts, although lesions of this type also occur spontaneously.
Therefore, coated potassium-containing formulations should be administered only when indicated and should be discontinued immediately if abdominal pain, distention, nausea, vomiting, or gastro-intestinal bleeding occurs. Human patients with known sulfonamide sensitivity may show allergic reactions to SALIX; however, these reactions have not been reported in animals. Sulfonamide diuretics have been reported to decrease arterial responsiveness to pressor amines and to enhance the effect of tubocurarine.
Caution should be exercised in administering curare or its derivatives to patients undergoing therapy with SALIX and it is advisable to discontinue SALIX for one day prior to any elective surgery.

Diuretic therapy should be discontinued after reduction of the edema, or maintained after determining a carefully programmed dosage schedule to prevent recurrence of edema.
For long-term treatment, the dose can generally be lowered after the edema has once been reduced. Re-examination and consultations with client will enhance the establishment of a satisfactorily programmed dosage schedule. Clinical examination and serum BUN, CO2 and electrolyte determinations should be performed during the early period of therapy and periodically thereafter, especially in refractory cases.
Abnormalities should be corrected or the drug temporarily withdrawn. Administer once or twice daily, permitting a 6-to 8-hour interval between treatments.
