The answer is: 93% of horses experience EIPH when racing. Furosemide decreases that number. That is why the veterinary and scientific world overwhelmingly and without reservation advises furosemides' continued use as a therapeutic race day drug.
Two questions...what about the other 7%? What is the harm in actually waiting until they bleed? It is obvious to me these bleeding episodes don't do any long term damage to the horse. The facts don't lie.
