Methylcobalamin, will it help Lucas?

The following quote was taken from this website.

"METHYLCOBALAMIN, a form of vitamin B12, has shown great benefit to cats (and people) with diabetic neuropathy and other neuromuscular diseases. Unlike regular B12 (cyanocobalamin), METHYLCOBALAMIN is active in spinal fluid. Because of this, it is able to help heal the damaged nerve cells and restore the signal between the brain and your cat's weakened muscles."

It might help Lucas, it might not. But I ordered some from this website and he's had three doses so far. There are 30 pills in the bottle. My vet ok'd it even though she has never heard of this treatment.

Good luck. At this point there is really no reason not to try out any alternatives that may present themselves. You just never know.

Methylcobalamin has helped many, many diabetic cats get back feeling and use of their legs due to neuropathy from the diabetes. Best of luck for Lucas, I hope it helps him!
