    The most common side effect is dehydration. As long as Poppy eats and drinks sufficiently, she should be ok.
    The drug can also cause electrolyte imbalances and kidney problems. Usually though, the benefits outweigh the risks.
    Since Poppy is receiving hospice care and furosemide is used to keep her more comfortable, you shouldn't worry about the side effects too much. It's very likely that her abdomen looks less swollen, since the drug reduces the fluid.
    Hugs and kisses from Heidi and the kitties.

    Thanks, Heidi. It's "Meow Mix Irresistibles crunchy with salmon & ocean whitefish." ..."MADE WITH REAL SALMON." There's a heart-shaped window in front where you can see the treats. Each is heart-shaped, tan around the outside with a red one in the middle. This may be an older version that they don't make any longer. I've seen both crunchy and soft versions now, some with salmon and some with chicken. I got a couple, but she didn't go for them.

    She might be past the point where any or it would make a difference to her.. I just offered her the last of the old ones, and she wasn't interested.

    She does seem to be a bit less swollen since I've been giving her these (third day today!). I think (hope) she's drinking water. I have quite a bit around, within easy reach for her. And she gets liquid from those gravy foods.

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.
