It's sold under the name Xobaline.
Here's an article on it, and here's where I bought it. Watching his improvement after starting it was just astounding  |
Yes.. I did the research back when the neuropathy first started. Took all the information to my vet and he checked into things also. We figured since it's a supplement it wouldn't hurt to try it. One problem is the pills for humans are sublingual and I sure wouldn't want to try to get the cat to let it disolve under his tongue and the pills seem bitter to cats. I broke them up to the proper dosage and put them in gel capsules.
I dosed him for 3 months with no change so we stopped. The brand I used was from Source Naturals, called MethylCobalamin. I gave him 3 mg a day.
