hi
i am catsitting my sisters cat. Mickie is 16 yrs old and looks well except for one thing- she drinks and pees more than my diabetic old boy cat!!
i tested Mickie and she does NOT have diabetes
she had a senior blood panel done less than 6 mos ago and it was fine
my sister and i are concerned about a potassium deficiency as she does have a little muscle weakness
anyone have a cat on potassium supplements?
is there any way to get the right dose without blood work?
like, could you use urine instead?
this cat is EXTREMELY upset by blood work and just going out at all stresses her out
we don't want to put her thru anything we don't have to!!
any ideas greatly appreciated!
