Feeding Senior Cats

Feeding Older Cats

Nutrition is important for humans and animals, helping to keep the body healthy, and prevent disease. Sick or elderly cats sometimes need a special diet. Stray cats that are underweight can also be helped with special food.

Dogs and Furosemide

Furosemide for Dogs

Furosemide for dogs is used to treat animals with congestive heart failure ( CHF). Furosemide is a loop diuretic, so it helps to alleviate pressure on your dog's heart. The drug is also safe to use with your cats.

This drug is also known as Lasix, and since it's a diuretic, your veterinarian may also prescribe it if your dog has kidney problems. Furosemide helps dogs with liver disease as well.

A veterinarian may prescribe Furosemide if your horses have CHF. Cattle with udder edema may be treated with Furosemide. Dairy animals being treated with Furosemide may be given the medicine as an injection.

Dogs on Furosemide may be treated using this medication for a long time. Like natural diuretics for dogs,  Furosemide can help to alleviate wheezing and coughing in dogs, that is due to heart disease. Furosemide also helps with several other symptoms of CHF.
