I have 2 cats with renal failure, they get week and wobbly in their back legs, and lose one of them loses her appetite at times. You can see dramatic improvement all of the symptoms within 24 hours, especially the appetite. If the wobbling in the back legs has been going on for a long time, then it'll take a week or so to really get to work. The potassium powder is the easiest for me. No matter how finicky my animals are the powder seems to have just about no taste and they don't mind it a bit. My cats don't go for the gels and pastes out there. I would also recommend the Liqui Tinic for anemic animals, whether your vet prescribes it or not, it's a great Iron, B complex, and vitamin supplement.
PetRxDirect is the ONLY pet online pharmacy I'll ever use again. This review is about a year tardy, from my first time ordering. They are so fast with the orders, and it's like they give personal care to each order. I feel like I'm dealing with a family owned small business (maybe it is I don't know) vs a big online pharmacy. Whether that be some free kitty treats to a personal response to my email requesting a change to my order before it was shipped.

Not sure
Too early to tell. Happy just had a renal panel and the Vet recommended this. The problem is I was already giving it to him for two weeks. Maybe it just needs more time. to take effect.

From Meridian, ID, USAComments about Renal K+ (potassium gluconate)This is a most excellent dietary supplement for those of us with kidney disease cats. Anything you can do to keep this disease at bay, is a big plus! I dissolve Renal-K along with RenAvast in a tiny bit of water, prior to mixing into his canned food. He is a happy and healthy boy. -

Renal K Powder is great!
From ConnecticutComments about Renal K+ (potassium gluconate)I had a hard time giving my cat the Renal K gel. She didn't adjust to the flavor. So I decided to try the powder, and it has been fabulous! I know she is getting the intended dose, and she doesn't know she is getting it. She is back to being the happy, playful cat she was before. -
Maple Goodness?
From Madison, AL, USAComments about Renal K+ (potassium gluconate)The Renal K gel has a strong maple smell/flavor, and my older finicky cat wanted none of it. �However she has to have it, so we forced it on her for weeks till miraculously one day she started taking it willingly. �We are all very pleased with this product now that it isn't a fight twice a day to give it to her. �It has made all the difference in her health. �I wish it came in a different more cat friendly flavor, but I can't argue with the results.

My vet gave this to me yesterday after I called them to inform them I came home to find my 16 yr old ( with recently diag Kidney failure) walking with her head down. I started IV fluid treatments under the skin for flushing and they said it is common for potassium to be lost during this process. So my question is when should she start holding her head up again, thankfully she is still trying to eat, that has been a problem for mos until I changed vets?

Please contact your veterinarian regarding your cat or dog’s medical condition.

The gel ingredients listed include B vitamins. The powder does not. Are B vitamins available only in the gel??
-
It looks like the B vitamins are in both the gel and powder, according to the bottles. For some reason it is not listed on the powder package label though. Thank you, VetRxDirect
