A town full of veterinarians and I wouldn't trust another clinic to touch a fur on his head, but I just find the veterinarian increasingly disinterested and its really frustrating. I think Ramona Riddley's going to have to go in next week and I'm not looking forward to that...And she's a normal cat.
I want to try him back on B12 and see if things improve. I'm really optimistic about this.
Montgomery was born 20 March 2012. He eats extra lean ground chicken, lean ground pork and lean ground beef completed with Alnutrin and freeze-dried chicken liver, with hard-cooked egg. He gets two size zero capsules of Enzyme Diane's enzymes at each of his six meals, and a size four capsule of Tylan three times a day. He's a fierce little Spitfire with a roaring Merlin engine.

Another question, and I know its a dumb one, so I'm apologizing in advance. This: https://www.wonderlabs.com/itemleft.php?itemnum=K9688 is what comes up when I search Wonderlabs B12 for cats, and the capsule contains 1000 mcg of B12 and 800 mcg of folic acid. It says give one capsule for fuzzy people less than fifty pounds. Is this the right thing?

Not a dumb question - yes that's the right product but the dosing is not correct - we use the dosing that TAMU recommends for shots. I'm not sure if the dosing is the same for cats as it is for dogs. Olesia will be better to answer that.
Madelon, owned by DOC. DOC dx EPI 5/2015 = TLI < .4, B12 406; Folate >24. DOC taught me so much and together we battled and overcame EPI, food sensitivies, environmental allergies but we lost the cancer battle. DOC was dx with hemangiosarcoma 5/2022 and crossed the rainbow bridge July 24, 2022. He is and always will be the love of my life, my soulmate, my heart dog.

Thanks. I thought I'd better double check as he's only six and a half pounds.
