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.

What are the seventeen isotopes in potassium?
I believe 24 isotopes have been identified with atomic mass ranging from 32 to 55. Only three occur naturally, K39 (93% of the total), K41 (7%) and the radioactive K40 (0.01%). The others have very short half-lives, as small as a few nano-seconds in some cases.

How does EDTA effect potassium level?
EDTA can chelate or bind to potassium ions in the blood, forming a complex that reduces the amount of free potassium available for measurement in laboratory tests. This can lead to falsely low potassium levels in blood tests. It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of this interference when interpreting potassium levels in patients who are receiving EDTA therapy.

If taking 20meq potassium chl what amount should be taken after levels are normal?
Assuming that you are taking potassium related to a diagnosis of hyopkalemia then you need to continue to take the potassium until your Health Care Practitioner discontinues the medication or lowers it. He/She will probably order blood tests to measure the level of potassium in your blood and prescribe medication accordingly. Sudden drops in Potassium can actually be life threatening since it can cause heart irregularities.
In heating the mixture of potassium chlorate and manganese dioxide what is the role of the manganese dioxide?
Manganese dioxide acts as a catalyst in the reaction, facilitating the decomposition of potassium chlorate into potassium chloride and oxygen gas. Manganese dioxide lowers the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making the process more efficient and accelerating the release of oxygen gas.
