Why It's Dangerous
Coconut water has very high potassium content : far higher than coconut flesh or oil. Excess potassium (hyperkalaemia) can interfere with heart rhythm. A tiny accidental sip is unlikely to cause harm but regular consumption or large amounts are dangerous.
Symptoms to Watch For
- Weakness
- Irregular heartbeat
- Collapse in extreme cases
Vet Guidance
Monitor. Avoid coconut water entirely and offer plain water instead.
