RenaKal™ Potassium and Amino Acid Liquid for Cats and Dogs – 120ml Bottle
Comprehensive support in a tasty liquid for cats andamp; dogs with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or otherwise low blood potassium levels. RenaKalandtrade; provides potassium, amino acids, iron and B-vitamins to help manage your pet’s symptoms and improve their quality of life. Potassium is vital for the normal functioning of muscles, and has a huge impact on heart health andamp; circulation. Too little potassium in the blood results in a condition called hypokalaemia, and there can be many causes. In pets with CKD, too much potassium is lost via the large volumes of dilute urine, and due to lower appetite, too little is taken in with their regular food. The most common sign of hypokalaemia is muscle weakness, and shows through difficulty walking and the inability to lift their head up. Once diagnosed, it can be managed with daily supplementation. Essential amino acids have wide-reaching benefits. Loss of muscle is common in pets with CKD, so RenaKalandtrade; provides a source of amino acids (the building blocks of protein) in small but significant amounts, to help with protein production andamp; maintenance of muscle mass. Amino acids also support many aspects of health, including function of the kidneys and immune system. B-vitamins and iron help to boost energy, appetite and vitality. In pets with reduced kidney function, B-vitamins are lost via urine and cause a host of problems. They are key players in energy production as well as many processes which keep pets feeling well and happy. Iron deficiency in CKD is most often caused by reduced appetite. Low iron levels result in pets feeling lethargic and weak, and further reduces their appetite as they feel increasingly unwell but luckily this vicious cycle can be improved with a dietary supplement. Important information: Please ensure that you only feed RenaKalandtrade; to your pet after your vet has diagnosed low blood potassium levels. Amount fed should be adjusted based on the degree of potassium depletion, under veterinary direction. RenaKalandtrade; contains 234mg/ml ionic Potassium (Potassium gluconate). It is designed to provide long term nutritional support to pets with chronic kidney disease/renal failure, or those with conditions which also result in low blood potassium levels. Use with caution on animals suffering with cardiac disease. Do not feed to animals where high potassium may be encountered….
