Hi, I was told about a month ago that my furbaby has a heart murmur, a left leaky heart valve and an slightly enlarged heart. Her regular vet put her on Lasix 1/2 of a 12.5 mg. pill twice a day she is a little 13 year old 4 lb. Yorkie. I hate to question my vet, but this sounds like a high dosage to me for a 4 lb. baby. She sometimes will refuse to take it.i give it to her in cheese which she. usually loves but now she won’t eat it. I’m at a loss of what to do . Pill pockets won’t work either.tonight I had to put it down her throat, which she hated. Has anybody had a small baby with heart problems on lasix? What was the dosage and weight of your baby and did he or she have any side effects from taking Lasix. My vet also said she would probably have to take it for the rest of her life. I would really like to talk to someone that has gone through this or is going through this now. Thanks to anyone that can help . I am sooooo worried about my baby. |
