Lasix... is reallly good for fluid retention..... really good

Thanks Perchie. My mom had to take two different kinds on different days of the week.
But once in awhile she had to go in the hospital to get iv meds that were stronger.

Lasix isn't that what they give race horses?

I became a first time cat owner of two full grown, indoor cats a few months ago. One of them sleeps right next to my head... I can imagine she'll start drooling on me & my pillow in her old age.

Maybe she won't Samantha likes to sleep between our heads. I suspect it is because the other body parts move a fair bit but her spot up top is fairly calm. She's now 16(?) and diabetic but fortunately not drooling.

Yep...

""Bleeds, or exercise induced pulmonary hemorrhages (EIPH), affect the majority of horses during intense exercise, and Lasix is often used to reduce or prevent bleeds. Lasix (or furosemide) is a potent loop diuretic that increases urine production and urinary frequency.""

I have had horses come in from a long ride with a nose bleed.... Thats the hint.

furosemide was developed for dogs with urinary hoping people could use it .. Lasix was brought out to treat Von Willdebrand disease in dogs also

Interesting that you know them as Garbonzo beans. That is what my grandmother (born in Spain) called them. Others know them as chick peas. The flour is great for making gluten free onion rings.
