Expert Posts: 1440 Location: Texas	I give 3cc IV 2 hours out per my vet. He also said I might have to play with times and doses slightly if he bled through the lasix. So far his recommendations are working fine.

Elite Veteran Posts: 639 Location: God's country...aka TEXAS	I give my lasix IM 2 hours before I run. My vet said give IV if I need it to kick it quicker for whatever reason.

Expert Posts: 2531 Location: WI	I did IV because it didn't take as long and I pulled water and hay. In the summer I felt too bad letting my mare go 4+hrs without water. I would give IV about 1.5hrs out. It's easier to time 1.5hrs than 4hrs.

Regular Posts: 98 Location: Arkansas	With my gelding his perfect time frame is 3cc 3 hours out. I thought I missed my "window" the other day and he ran better than he ever had. Its been spot on ever since. Every horse is different. I have a friend who's will bleed without lasix but can ply give UP to a half cc. Id start 3cc IV 2 hours out and just play with it until you found your horses needs.

Shelter Dog Lover Posts: 10277	I give 2 1/2 cc's 2 hours out. I have had him scoped after a race and he is not bleeding with this program, works for him.

Own It and Move On Location: The edge of no where	linds - 2014-07-08 10:15 AM I did IV because it didn't take as long and I pulled water and hay. In the summer I felt too bad letting my mare go 4+hrs without water. I would give IV about 1.5hrs out. It's easier to time 1.5hrs than 4hrs. It is easier to give it closer to race time. If it's working for your horse, then I sure wouldn't change it. The studies done on racehorses show that giving it 4 hours out is ideal to get max results. It's more effective given IV.
