My. god. you. are. ignorant. Yes, the dose of lasix is determined by body weight. You are making imaginary scenarios up out of thin air.

So you are saying an individual horse gets the same amount of lasix each time it races?

Nope. I said the dose is determined by body weight. Those are two different things, even keeping with your concern.

Try learning about what you are talking about, before you declare "how things are"?

You're the undisputed master at turning things on their heads and driving them into the ground.

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, 0.5mg/kg bw--every time it runs.

What you are arguing is anyone's guess.

How about if we use a dose of lasix that is both efficacious and legal, instead? Just a suggestion. From a medical person.

Here we go again. Fine, let's change the example to 1.0 mg/kg.

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?

Keep it up you could get a de facto license one day to practice in Argentina?

I know you are a veterinarian and not an MD, but I'm sure you have some knowledge about medication for humans. Do you believe in fosamax for people with osteoporosis? The studies have proven that fosamax increases bone density.
