my vet prescribed furosemide syrup 1% for my cat, but it explicitly states on the bottle "for use in dogs only" and they told it works for both cats and dogs, should i trust them??
-
The Furosemide 1% Syrup has only been FDA approved for dogs, which is why the manufacturer must include the “for dogs only” statement on the box. However, products such as this can be used off-label for other animals if deemed necessary by your veterinarian.

Does this product have a indentation in it that would make it easier to split in half??
-
Furosemide is available as a tablet through VetRxDirect from various distributors and in several different strengths. The appearance and scoring of the tablet is dependent on both of these factors, although many of them are scored for easy splitting. Since furosemide is available as a generic drug, we cannot guarantee which manufacturer will provide the medication at a given time. If the tablets are not scored, they may still be split using a pill splitter, which will improve accuracy. If the desired strength is available as a whole tablet through VetRxDirect, this could also be ordered instead to avoid any dose inaccuracies. Thank you, VetRxDirect
