Apparently this minimal dose may have been still too high for this horse. Does he have a dangerous problem and history of bleeding due to hypertension in the first place or was he just given Lasix as a performance enhancing drug like almost all horses are recklessly given whether they are bleeders or not?

I’m going to take a wild ass guess that Motion believes the horse needs Lasix else he wouldn’t give it to a horse who had a history of negative reaction to heat or loss of electrolytes.
