| If he is on diuretics, and he needs K+, the best bet would be for your vet to tell you how much to give him. Potassium is excreted through the kidney so the more pee, the more K+ is lost. Potassium is very important for cardiac function so it is important, however, the therapeutic index is very narrow. This means potassium levels do not have alot of fluxuation to be normal. Too low potassium as well as too high can effect the heart.
Good luck
