Yes. Furosemide stops EIPH. Other things also help stop EIPH. Currently allowable adjuncts do not reliably work to stop EIPH.

The improvement of return to performance - a horse being able to perform again at 100%, because the horse is not bleeding into their lung from EIPH and suffocating - is about the same for those things that work successfully to stop EIPH.

Science is amazing. Medicine is amazing. How about that?
