Most people know most drugs are tested on Mice/Rats or other animals before human testing begins....Are we Mice/Rats (no jokes here please)....
Lasix is a very crude, "old fashioned" diuretic that's been around a looooonnngg time and the facts of what it is AND more importantly what it ISN'T are free to anyone with a minimal amount of ambition to look up and learn about it.....then we can talk about it
Please don't take this as an insult....I'm just trying to point anyone interested in the right direction...the CORRECT info is out there and easy to research. Google "lasix" and you're off......
It's really not doing anyone any good if their points of arguments are "something their Uncle Vinnie told them" or something they saw on "House"

Dude, we've been down this road many times recently and I've read plenty. My only argument against it is that it is a performance enhancer. I've seen it with my own eyes, now a vet is saying the same exact thing. He isn't the first one either. So, being a performance enhancer forces other horses to use the drug so they are on a level playing field.
