A little off topic.... but still B12 ...
I took my new kitten to the cat specialist vet the other day, in preparation for a spay procedure later in the month.
While I was there an owner came in to pick up B12 injections for her cat. I was very curious, and we got to talking.
Her cat is 14 yrs old and has pancreatitis. She picked up 6 doses for $12.
I asked the tech later about this, and she said that foods high in carbohydrate tend to inflame the intestines of cats, causing B12 deficiencies! (sounds like gluten intolerance!) So this practice uses B12 injections commonly for digestive issues! So in other words they discourage kibble there, and suggest only wet food, and food you may cook for your cat!
I was very interested in this! It illustrates how diet, and environment can even impact your pet!
