General Advice Mysterious low potassium

Has anyone’s kitty had low potassium and high calcium with no known cause? My 15 year old boy is low in potassium despite being on supplements and it isn’t working to raise the levels. Has hyperthyroidism but managed well on liquid medicine. No cancer symptoms and is fine in himself except losing weight like crazy. Eats well and a lot, toilets fine too. Kidney work was also fine.

He is trialing medication for conns disease but this is more of a trial and error at this point.

Any brains to pick would be amazing
