How to give a cat potassium when pills and powder don't work?

Question

tony takes tumil k supplement, in total two & one half pills / day & they are huge, so I cut them up which equals 6 pieces in the AM & 4 pieces in the PM.(He also takes amlodipine every 8 hrs & methimazole every 12 hrs) the issue is the tumil k. even cut up they’re big pieces. Is there some other form other than pill for a potassium supplement? I’ve tried the powder,he needs so much of it that it’s very overpowering mixed in his wet food &he wont eat it. I hide the pills in treats but still Hard. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 19 years and 8 months old | 9.5 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tony. Have you tried supplementing his potassium with the gel form? I find this much easier to give to cats. You can feed it to him directly or place it on his paw to lick off. RenaPlus Gel may be worth a try for him. I hope this information helps!
