To: ferrethealth@yahoogroups.com
Hi Jennifer,
I am not a vet but here is the dosing from 'Ferret Cardiology' (Wagner, 2009).
"Furosemide (Lasix) at 2 to 3 mg/kg intramuscularly or intravenously (IV) every 8 to 12
hours is used initially for ferrets in fulminant myocardial failure and at 1 to 2 mg/kg
orally every 12 hours for long-term maintenance therapy (p. 150)."
I have emailed you the complete paper to pass to your vet.
