Description:
The debate of race-day furosemide (Lasix) has once again taken over horse racing websites and social media. Some trainers tell how inhumane it would be to not allow a horse that has experienced exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH) to receive furosemide. Many people do not understand why they're told that horses love to run on their own, yet more than 95% of horses are given a drug on race day that certain groups claim that horses need to be able to run.
