Here is what I use with Zoe....we just started about 10 days ago:

http://www.vitacost.com/Vitacost-Vitamin-B-12-Methylcobalamin-5-000-mcg-100-Capsules

I like this because it is a capsule.....just open the capsule and mix in her food, no taste, no mess. I give her 1 capsule per day.

We usually give between 3000 and 5000 mcg/day, regardless if weight. Any excess is just peed out.

The tablets are water soluble, so you can dissolve them in a 1tsp of warm water and mix with the food. Just make sure that whatever brand you buy, it does not contain the sweetener Xylitol, which is toxic to cats.

I found a sublingual form which disolves quickly in the mouth _I just gently hold callis mouth closed and she has no choice but to take it. Natural Factors is the manufacturer. Im going to start giving her 3-4 a day !!

Be careful with the sublingual....sometimes they have xylitol in them as a sweetner which can be harmful to kitties....or they can have sugar in them which is not good for diabetic kitties.

Nope it a good one !

 

[Mary and Stella]

Stella was in pretty deep with her Neuropathy, so I started with 3 in the morning and 3 in the evening. I wanted to make sure it wasn't urinated out in the first 12 hours while she was becoming regulated and still had excessive urination. Once Stella was regulated I started with the 5 vitacost version mentioned by Sherry & Zoe and administer in her food in the PM since the supplement also has great results/testing for regulating sleep. Good luck!
