I'm trying to find vit b and potassium suitable for cats, preferably in liquid form.
Anyone know where I can buy these supplements?

Why? A good quality food should have plenty of vit B and potassium supplements can be dangerous unless you know what you are doing and to be honest, not needed for most cats. If you need potassium because your vet has diagnosed a problem, either get it from your vet or get a prescription and go to your local chemist. I wouldn't buy it online as your local chemist should be able to get you a big bottle cheaply. However,
UNLESS YOUR VET HAS TOLD YOU TO GET A SUPPLEMENT, I wouln't get one as you can cause more trouble for your cat0 -
She has a kidney & bladder infection & is currently on anti-biotics. I have read online that cats with kidney issues need extra potassium & b vitamins. I wouldn't even consider supplements suitable for humans, I would only ever consider supplements specially for cats.
I already give her omega 3, 6 & 9. It is a supplement designed for cats & is called Almost Human.0 -

Unless she has had blood tests that show low potassium she does NOT need supplements. Too much potassium can be fatal, and most cats do not need extra unless they have been shown to be hypokalemic. If she is hypokalemic, your vets can prescribe a supplement.
Kidney disease can cause both hyper and hypokalemia. I cannot remember the last time I needed to supplement a cat orally with potassium, its usually when they are hospitalised on fluids, and we supplement the fluids with that..
Please-check with your vet if she needs supplements. Bvits can be given in an injection form, we use b12.0
