Potassium gluconate is an essential supplement used to prevent or treat potassium deficiency in animals. This mineral plays a key role in nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and proper kidney function. It is usually administered under veterinary supervision, as certain conditions such as kidney failure, hyperkalemia, or Addison’s disease can make it dangerous. Oral administration may cause digestive issues and requires regular monitoring of blood potassium levels. It should be stored at room temperature, protected from light, and used before its expiration date.
