Subject: Frusemide dosage?

Hello

My Jack as a tumour in his chest and also fluid in his chest and/ or lungs.
We started him on Frusemide in August and he got 5mg twice a day to start
with. But the fluid is getting worse now and I usually half the 20mg tablet
and then pinch some off so he gets about 8mg. Jack's weight is 2kg so the
8mg are the maximum dose accorning to the books. But he's starting to have
trouble with the fluid again, this morning he sounded bad an was coughing so
what do I do when the 8mg are not enough anymore? He seems okay with his
8mg, how much can ferrets tolerate? How do I know that he's not tolerating
his dose? What side effects does the Frusemide have?
