High potassium levels (hyperkalemia) in dogs usually raises a red flag. The normal potassium values in dogs should be between 3.4 and 5.4 mEq/L. Anything higher than these values are suggestive of hyperkalemia. Some of the most common causes of hyperkalemia are acute or chronic kidney failure, Addison's disease and Diabetes. Other causes may be a urinary obstruction, a ruptured bladder, muscle trauma and the administration of ACE inhibitors, prolonged use of NSAIDs.
Treatments will vary depending on what the underlying problem is. Your veterinarian will advise you as to the best treatment.
