Furosemide Oral Solution is a fast-acting medication used to treat pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs) in horses, cats, and dogs. It is also effective in managing certain electrolyte imbalances, such as elevated potassium or calcium levels. The solution is also sugar free. Sold in 60 mL bottles.How it Works

Furosemide works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood. This extra salt and water is then passed out through the urine.
