what is the proper dosage of lasix for a 30 pound dog
hey my vet is giving my dog 100 mg a day I personally think it is much I was only checking to see if anyone else thought so or if the dosage was correct
thanks to those who answed my question it was very helpful she is taking too much as she only weighs 30 pounds or less and he told me to give her 100mg this maybe why she is so weak and upset stomach
Chosen Answer:
Are you effin kidding me!?!?!?!? That will leach essential potassium and water out of your dogs body, and your gonna rely on some random idiot for dosing instructions??? Your a MORON and your gonna send your dog into kidney failure!!
If you have a problem with the dosage, take it up with your vet. Lasix can be a very dangerous drug and I’d be concerned too.

Ask your vet. I don’t give drug dosages over the Internet. You can also read the label on the bottle since lasix is a prescription medication and should be labelled properly for your dog.

The usual dose of furosemide in dogs and cats is 1-2mg/pound once or twice a day (at 6-8 hour intervals).

Ok…I copied this…Have a read
The most common and best drug of this class is furosemide (Lasix). The dose of furosemide is 1-3mg/pound of body weight given two or three times a day. Dogs taking furosemide usually drink and urinate more frequently. While on this drug the dog should receive a potassium supplement such as Morton’s NuSalt.

I believe I already said 100 mg. was too much , an adult USUALLY only takes 40 mg., in your previous question. FIND A NEW VET. ASAP!!!

I answered this already The dosage is 1 – 3 mg. per lb. two or three times a day,so your dog could take up to 270 mgs a day.100 mg.is not too much,but it can have side effects. The dog probably needs a different medication or a potassium supplement. Just ask your vet.
