Vetoquinol Renal K Vet Solution (100 gm)

Measuring scoop is not included. I am not sure how to measure proper dose for my cat.

Uses it for my senior cat, works well, got his results back and he is back to normal potassium levels. It doesnt have taste and my cat eat is food not problem. It was a great price

Mi gata con enfermedad renal tiene momentos en que requiere suplementarse con potasio. Antes había usado la versión en gel de Renal K+ (que huele super fuerte a maple) y aunque había que forzar su administración con una jeringa, siempre funcionó perfecto. Hasta que un día mi gata comenzó a desarrollar una aversión al gel al grado de que lo vomitaba de inmediato apenas se lo dábamos. Tratando de no privarla de su dosis periódica de potasio, que ayuda a mantener bien su salud, decidí probar esta versión en polvo, con la esperanza de que pudiera ocultarla en su alimento. La realidad es que huele súper fuerte, no precisamente agradable y si simplemente lo diluyo con su lata de comida no hay forma de que se lo coma. Lo detecta de inmediato y de plano no toca el plato. La opción a base de prueba y error ha sido mezclarlo únicamente con alimento de origen "pescadoso", y con unas gotas del suplemento de aceite de salmón que toma para mantener bien su pelo. Logrando disfrazar muy bien el olor penetrante a algas que tiene hemos logrado engañar un poco a la señorita. Funciona, pero no siempre es funcional.

From blood test found to be in early stage of kidney disease. Since taking, the small breed schnauzer incidence of diarrhoea and vomiting is negligible. Good product and helpful to the condition. Given every other day now using the prescribed scoop over dog food after monitoring hardness of feaces.

Suitable for renal cats with low potassium.

One of my cats needs her blood work checked every year to ensure that her kidneys are functioning as they should. She does not have CKD (chronic kidney disease) but she does take two heart medications. Neither are a diuretic but her cardiologist wants us to just keep an eye on kidney function because heart and kidney problems can go hand in hand. Thankfully her kidneys are in working order but, her potassium was low. I asked our regular vet what could be the cause of the low number and she stated that it just sometimes happens. Well, we were "prescribed" Renal K but, the vet only had the choice of pills (horse pills) or the gel. I went with the gel because even though I can easily pill a cat, I was not going to try with a pill the size of my finger tip! The gel has an overpowering syrup smell. I knew for sure that she wouldn't like it straight from the tube and I was right. I was able to get her to eat it with strong smelling fish food but nothing beyond that. Since I rotate her food every day I needed another option. That's when I found the powder. This is SO much better than the gel and lasts a LOT longer! The powder does still have a strong smell but it's more on the fish side than sugary sweet. And I'm happy to report that her potassium level is back within normal ranger after switching the the powder.
