potassium
Hey Doc, I work at an emergency vet clinic and recently my dog has become ill I can not afford to do the surgery for which my be cancer / or heat disease. I am doing what the vets have suggested to keep her comfortable. She has a pot belly due to the fact her heart can not get rid of all the fluid. We have her on Furmosemide 40mg 5 tabs twice a day and spironolactone 100mg once a day. We are concerned about her potassium can you help me find a way to get her to eat something with potassium. She is starting not to like anything. Any way you can help would be great.

Potassium supplementation is available in both tablet and gel form. The dosage needs to be tailored to the serum potassium levels. There are potassium “salts” sold over the counter for people to use in place of sodium salts with heart conditions. This type of salt can be liberally sprinkled over the food.
