If you have any questions regarding the use of Salix, contact your veterinarian.
How does this medication work?
Salix is a diuretic that blocks the absorption of salt and fluid in the kidney tubules causing an increase in urine output. This helps rid the body of excess fluid.
What results can I expect?
Salix helps to relieve the symptoms associated with your pets excess fluid accumulation (edema) but it will not cure the primary problem. This will help improve your pets quality of life.
This medication is quick acting so you may notice a difference in your pet quickly. Salix is very short-acting so it needs to be given on schedule in order to continue to see results.

Salix/furosemide
By Goodybox on Aug 6, 2021
This medication plus the Vetmedin or pimobendan has helped save my dogs life - actually added years to his life. If your dog or cat has a heart condition, this medication is a must. It's a diaretic, so liquid doesn't stay around the heart.

My little guy is on lasix for his heart. This medication is small enough to hide in treats. Autoship makes refills very fast and easy.
