Electrolytes for Cats
Electrolytes for Cats
Prescription electrolytes for cats are specialized formulas that are designed to replenish the essential minerals and nutrients that a cat's body requires for optimal health. Electrolytes are important for many bodily functions, including maintaining proper hydration, nerve and muscle function, and maintaining a healthy pH balance. Cats may require prescription electrolytes if they are recovering from an illness, dehydration, or have an imbalance in their electrolyte levels. These specialized formulas are typically available through a veterinarian, who can recommend the appropriate dosage and frequency for a cat's specific needs. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions carefully and monitor the cat's progress to ensure that they are receiving the correct amount of electrolytes and that their condition is improving.

Is Pedialyte safe to give kittens?
Can a rabbit die because of too much electrolyte.The doctor prescribed electrolyte because she wouldn't eat.
How much unflavored pedialyte would you give a 6lb senior cat to help prevent dehydration from diarrhea due transitioning to a new food? Can it be given directly with a feeding syringe or should it be diluted in water and if so how much dilution? Thank you.
Hi, I have a domestic shorthair cat with fluid in his abdomen. We saw a vet and X-ray showed his heart is fine. There was too much fluid for the X-ray to show what was happening in the abdomen. He hasnt been eating or drinking much, but after the vet took out about 200ml of fluid, he ran for the food/water bowl. Blood work showed low sodium and potassium, low glu and low creatine.
What is the best diet for Acut acute glomerulonephritis ?? In cats
My 8 y/o male cat had his first bout of cystitis a few weeks ago, my vets only solution was to give Rx food (Hills, Royal Canin or ProPlan) these all have fish products in them (even non fish flavors) and my cat is allergic. They have no other suggestions and said he will have another issue if he's not on that food. I've read about Wysong Uretic wet food, Wysong Biotic ph- supplement, Cystease, Tinkle Tonic, etc - would anything else work as an alternative? PLEASE HELP!
Is there an over the counter supplement I can give my cat for interstitial cystitis? She's 8. Good appetite and very loving.
I have a 13 yr old cat, weight 10 lbs., diagnosed in 2016 with CRF. Creatinine 313. Potassium 3.7., 150mls Lactated ringers 3x week. Would potassium supplementation help with her low energy level? My vet is reluctant to add potassium to her meds. because it is difficult to adjust. Should I be seeking a second opinion?
My cat had ran away a week ago. Today morning he returned but seems dehydrated (when i pull his skin above neck & release, it stays there doesn't snap back). I tried giving him electrolyte solution but he doesn't drink. Tried giving it to him via syringe but wouldn't drink more than 2-3 mL. He looks dirty but I've checked & doesn't have any wounds. What can I do?
