Zobaline liquid?

[PlumsMom]

Plum is a little bit wobbly on his hind legs - not too bad, but I'm wondering if this might help him. He's a kibble addict (currently transitioning to YA Zero) so that's why I thought the liquid might be easier to administer. Anyone have experience with this? TIA!

As far as I know Zobaline is only available in tablet form. Can you post the link to the liquid?

Here is an old post about it http://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/zobaline-or-liquid-equivalent.89976/

Oops, you're right - technically not named Zobaline, but this is what I was looking at: http://www.amazon.com/Douglas-Labor...d-30/dp/B002VRG6E4/?tag=felinediabetesfdmb-20

Thank you! If they dissolve pretty easily as tablets, he's not too difficult to pill. I just thought drops might be easier. Thank goodness he's a pretty mellow dude.

You would need to also add a Folic acid supplement to help with absorption of the methyl-b. Zobaline already contains Folic Acid. The one you listed contains cherry flavoring. I don't know if that would impact his glucose.

Ah, good to know, and thank you for pointing that out! I'm very sure he would not care for cherry flavoring.

I wouldn't recommend this liquid, even without the flavoring. You would need to administer 3 milliliters to get the same dose of methyl-B12 as one tablet of Zobaline (1mg per mL versus 3mg per tablet). At that dosage, you'd only get 10 days out of a bottle.

Thanks, everyone. I ordered the tablets yesterday so we'll see how he does.

Hoping that he responds quickly
