Have you had a digoxin level checked? Have you recently had the chest x
rayed for increased fluid? How is the Potassium level since on lasix? Many
things affect appetite. I found years ago the ferret I had with heart
disease would only eat souping things, he could not chew very well. Some of
the meds can trigger it as can fluid since they need to choose between
breathing and esting. Hope this helps.
