How much weight does a horse lose when it uses Lasix? Pretty sure it is a substantial number. If I lose substantial weight before I run, I'll run faster, even if it is just water weight. But I'll also have a harder time recovering because I was dehydrated.

it doesn't make them run faster, that's the point. it just makes them run to their potential because they aren't bleeding. it's not hard to understand. if it was a performance enhancer every human athlete would be on it. horses don't loose substantial weight before racing from lasix. where do you come up with this stuff. A horse might piss three to four gallons from lasix. at even 8lbs that's a trivial amount. I just chuckle at some of the insanity surrounding this.
