So, we are starting with some Lasix. She's calling it in to the pharmacy. At the end of the week we will start Enalipril (sp?) or the generic thereof. I'm hoping I will be able to get him off of the Lasix at that point but we'll see.
He may be only 6 1/2. I feel like I've had him for 3 years but maybe it's only 2. I'll need to go back and look on his placement thread. Still...he's gettin' up there!

Ok, I just picked up his furosemide from the pharmacy. Before I open it and give him a dose I need some experts to weigh in here.
The bottle is Furosemide Oral Solution 10mg/ml. I am to give him .2 mls every 12 hrs. What concerns me the most is it says it contains 11.6% alcohol. Is this the med I should be giving him?

I was just reading up on my George's thread and it seems the stuff I have is the orange "yucky" stuff. Damn. Should I try it? I wonder if they'd take it back since I've left the store with it? I have not opened it.

Well, he's been on the Lasix for a week now. OMG, he's a different pig already! He is living in a cage below Murphy and Marleau. It's on the floor but I had the front open, just coroplast about 5-6" high. The bugger has been climbing out of his cage! This was the same pig that, last week, had to lay down to eat his pellets!
So, I put the rainbow grid in front of the coro which added about 2 more inches to the height. I was clipping other pigs nails, sitting on the floor in front of his cage and little Mr. NoseyPants climbed over that too!
I can't imagine what he's gonna be like once we start benazepril. I'll have build Fort Knox to keep him in! BTW, the vet is calling in the rx tonight so I should have that for him soon. Then we will begin to try and wean him off of Lasix.
