Summary of Study
Our goal is to learn more about the effects of the drug Albuterol on excessive potassium levels in our feline friends. This study will help us find ways to treat this life-threatening condition. Feline patients will undergo minor surgery for catheter placement and will need to be hospitalized at MWU CAC for 48 hours.
