Tabitha had her blood tests done today. We have determined that she was slightly dehydrated (skin test & changes in bloodwork) and potassium deficient. So she got some LRS with potassium & glucose added as her glucose is too low for my vets comfort. She seems to be more perky tonight and is showing more interest in food although not eating a ton. We decided to wait on the bloodwork for the T4 levels until she has consistently gotten the Methimazole twice a day for about 3 weeks, as right now we know that level will still be high. The Vet wants to put her on this gel: Renal K (Potassium Gluconate) Gel, 5 oz - Pet Meds for her potassium longterm, is that an okay thing? Is there a 'better' potassium supplement? Ease of administration is key with Tabitha :-). We will do a more comprehensive lab test in about 3-4 weeks as she had a comprehensive done about a month ago. She is up to 5.4# from 4.6# less than a week ago (last wednesday.)
