Article Synopsis
- A 34.4 kg, 5-year-old spayed female mixed-breed dog was evaluated for a urinary bladder mass after showing symptoms like blood in urine and difficulty urinating.
- An abdominal ultrasound revealed the mass, and a minimally invasive technique using a rubber catheter and ultrasound guidance allowed successful biopsy collection.
- The histopathology confirmed the mass as polypoid cystitis, and subsequent surgical removal was performed without complications.
Wide-complex tachycardia associated with severe hyperkalemia in three cats.

This report describes three cats with moderate to severe hyperkalemia and concurrent rapid heart rate.
