Lasix (Salix) injection

[MaltiseDad]

My 11.5 lb. Maltise received a Lasix (Salix) injection at the same time she received an injection of antibiotic to treat pneumonia.  She is also has congested heart failure and since contracting pneumonia has refused to eat - so I have been unable to give her the normal Lasix pill she takes.

First Question:  Is there any real danger taking the Lasix and antibiotic injections together?

Second Question:  How soon can I resume her Lasix pill (if she will take it) after having received the Lasix injection?

Sorry I can't be of help, but I wonder why you haven't gotten answers from the vet.

I have trouble getting my Westie to eat pills.  The problem is aggravated by concerns about possible food allergies/sensitivities.  Still, if the medication is necessary I stretch the control on food, say use a small piece of boiled skinless chicken breast to wrap around the pill.  Here, again, I am not sure my dog will not have a bad reaction to chicken.. so for no bad reaction.  I didn't ask the vet I think she believes I should be able to make my stinker-terrier swallow something he doesn't want to swallow... not possible.

You're kind of asking about stuffs that only a vet could answer. I don't want to aggravate you pooch's condition by giving you inaccurate dosage. I hope she gets better very soon. :)
