  • Title: [Hypokalemic myopathy in cats].
    Author: Kirsch M.
    Journal: Tierarztl Prax; 1995 Apr; 23(2):167-71. PubMed ID: 7624859.
    Abstract:
    Clinical signs, laboratory findings and the course of hypokalemic myopathy in ten cats are described. One of these cats needed continuing potassium substitution; in the other nine cats hypokalemia was a temporary phenomenon as a result of severe diabetic ketoacidosis and its therapy. In these patients normokalemia was achieved after potassium substitution for three to seven days. The clinical signs of hypokalemic myopathy already resolved after one to four days. Etiologic factors contributing to hypokalemic myopathy in these patients are discussed.
