Sorry, cmorioles!
The lasix injection given hardly dehydrates a horse at all. Again, only 0.5 to about 1.5%, which is tiny. Horses still sweat.
I now would like to hear those that think lasix should be eliminated, against the advice of racing veterinarians, to explain why.

I weigh 220, I wouldn't want to lose over 3 pounds of water before I went out running.
Seriously, isn't the fact that a nasal strip can do just as good a job reason enough, especially since it is cheaper?
