think before you post
you will sound like you may know sumthin
tks for postin

DINGUS and MIKE CAMPBELL--mean well--but have been given bad information.
Here are the facts: When a horse is given potassium bicarbonate KHCO, the compound dissolves into potassium K and bicarbonate HCO3-).

Testing laboratories measure the total concentration of dissolved bicarbonate and carbon dioxide TCO2

Any alkalizing agent that spikes blood bicarbonate levels—whether paired with sodium or potassium—will trigger a positive test if it exceeds the regulatory threshold (typically 36 or 37 mmol/L).
It Produces Predictable Blood Gas Changes: Bicarbonate ions HCO3 act as a metabolic buffer against lactic acid regardless of the attached cation. Administering potassium bicarbonate will absolutely cause a predictable increase in blood pH, base excess, and TCO2.

Potassium Is Highly Dangerous: Potassium bicarbonate is not a secret loophole; it is rarely used because spiking a horse’s potassium levels is dangerous. Excess potassium in the bloodstream (hyperkalemia) rapidly disrupts cardiac electrical conduction, which can cause severe muscle tremors, heart arrhythmias, or fatal cardiac arrest.
