|  Accidentally ate one of my lasix My Fancy found a lasix that I had dropped in the floor & ate it. It's 40mg. Will it harm her? What do I need to do? |

| Even though its a water pill I would still take her to the emergancy vet if your vet is closed. Better safe than sorry. |

| Donating YT 4000 Club Member  | Call the nearest ER vet. Lasix over doses can cause serious issues. What happens if I overdose the pet: Seek emergency veterinary medical attention if you believe you have given your pet too much medication. Symptoms of furosemide overdose may include loss of appetite, weakness, dizziness, confusion, fainting. http://www.1800petmeds.com/Furosemide-prod10083.html It can cause seizures, electrolyte imbalances and irregular heart beat.

| Her becoming so dyhydrated is what I was worried about. I hope since you haven't answered back it means you have taken her in to the emergancy vet. Please, please don't second guess this. It could mean her little life. |

| I hope your little girl is doing ok after getting your Lasix. When dogs are prescribed this for heart failure they are usually prescribed 2.5-5 mg for a 5-10 lb dog. 40 mg is is so much more that I worry about your girl. Please let us know how she is doing today. Teresa |

| I take 40mg of Lasix 3 times a week, and it often makes me feel weak, dizzy and dehydrated, so I can only imagine the repercussions for your little one. Did you call poison control or get her into the vet? Please let us know how she is doing.
