What I said was that instead of allowing individual horses to receive a variable amount of lasix (3cc to 10cc), it would be more ideal to standardize the amount. That is to say, every horse would receive lasix at the same dosage--for example, 1.0 mg/kg bw--every time it runs.

Better?

It's great you know how to google

Why do you think a horse may get a different dose of lasix the next time it's used?

Whatever. You've accomplished nothing other attempting to derail my posts with total and utter BS. Frankly, you should be fucl<ing banned for your behavior.

Clearly you didn't understand the point I was making, you should have just asked.

a) an attempt to alter performance and thus "fix" a race- decreased dose
b) an attempt to control bleeding not controlled at a lower dose- increased dose
c) an attempt to avoid unwanted side effects, ie "reactions to lasix": excessive dehydration, "thumps", colic-like symptoms, dullness- decreased dose
d) an attempt to achieve unproven effects, ie calming- increased dose
e) an attempt to improve poor performance not caused by bleeding- increased dose
f) an attempt to mitigate environmental factors, eg heat, high humidity, poor air quality

How dare you come up with such a list. You're not a veterinarian. I think there should be a new rule on this board. Riot should be the only one allowed to give an opinion on lasix. Nobody else on this board is qualified.

Is she even employed? Is she is, it must be as an internet poster.
