I run my gelding on 5cc K-red (4 hrs out) and 5cc Lasix (3 hrs out) - both are IV

My horse would bleed thru 7cc lasix so I had to do something - tried feed thru and herbs and flair strips but nothing worked for him

Once I started the K-red I havent had a problem - I am actually going to start backing off my lasix some until I can see where his min dose is on lasix 

K-red doesnt have the side effects that lasix does - from what I understand it was designed to be used during surgery to help prevent a bleed out!
