I don't do layups anymore but there are some empty stalls where I board in Havre de Grace. Great care, great prices. They may be able to help you.

It is pure and simple an race enhacer nothing more or less. Since it is an powerfull diurectic a legal race day med in the us, but everwhere else in the whole race world strictly forbidden. Bleeding from the nose will not occur at once, as there is always a sign seen as an blood drop in an nostril,...

I think the majority of the cases where people object to lasix use is a knee jerk reaction to the word drug. They want the horses running drug free because it sounds good and don't care what that means to the horse physically in terms of the toll on their bodies. Get rid of them and get another one.

See we plan on being at the BC this year, and I am bringing a group of young people who don't understand why a horse would bled through the nose. The last time I got a reaction from my friends is the BC sprint where Midnight Lute won. In the Paddock Fatal Bullet bled. I have a couple pictures of hi...

Currently they only "test" winners - pre-lasix testing would raise costs exorbitantly. The practicality isn't there. What should not have happened is having horses run on lasix who are not bleeders. Period. If you plan to run on lasix, you should train on lasix because of the way it makes the horse...

Thanks all for responding. Just as a way of putting punctuation at the end of the sentence, the trainer received a $25 fine (talk about a slap on the wrist) and I decided to give him "one more chance". I believe that had this occured in other jurisdictions, the result might have been different, bot...

Actually that all varies by jurisdiction which is one of the biggest problems facing horse racing today. It does test, it is just not tested for in some places and is allowed in others. Some places it is a threshold. Baffert had a bad test somewhere for omeprazole, can't remember where.

It varies by jurisdiction. Ask your vet. If I were to guess I would say 10-14 days.

OK, looks like the adverse reaction list on every medication on the market. If we read and believed those warnings none of us would ever take any medication prescribed by our doctor. They are horrifying warnings and usually those side effects seldom appear. But in the end, we decide to take the pre...
