Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If you meant a 12.5mg tablet of furosemide, he should be ok as long as he does not have underlying kidney disease. He will be more thirsty and will urinate more for the next 24-48 hours. Best of luck!

Since furosemide causes rapid fluid loss and can result in rapid dehydration, it can affect the kidneys immediately and the effects can also be long lasting. I would definitely recommend discussing this with your vet to determine what can be done to help Memi be more comfortable while you are waiting for her new medication to arrive. Good luck!
