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.
Ah, OK...just wanted to make sure you were aware of it. You're right, the human pills are sublingual - the Xobaline is made for cats so you just pill them the way you would with any other pill. Sorry to hear it didn't work (and the dosage you gave was "right" from everything I know) - but it sounds like you take the kind of care of your furries the way people should but usually don't - they're lucky to have you
