Description

Furosemide is a prescription medication commonly used in dogs and cats to manage conditions involving fluid retention, such as heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. The active ingredient, furosemide, is a powerful diuretic that works by promoting the elimination of excess fluid from the body, reducing swelling (edema), and alleviating pressure on vital organs like the heart and lungs.

Common Uses

• Furosemide is frequently prescribed to manage CHF in dogs and cats. It reduces fluid buildup in the lungs, abdomen, and other parts of the body, easing symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, and lethargy.
  
• In pets with pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs), furosemide helps remove excess fluid, improving respiratory function and making it easier for the pet to breathe.
  
• In pets with kidney disease, fluid retention is common. Furosemide helps reduce this excess fluid, decreasing swelling in the abdomen, legs, and other areas.
  
• In some cases, Furosemide may be used alongside other medications to help manage high blood pressure, particularly when fluid retention is a contributing factor.
