Vitamin b12 is crucial for brain functioning where, sadly, a deficiency can lead to anxiety and depression
Many patients notice significant improvements in their energy and overall well-being after starting treatment
If the vitamin is administered by injection in response to a deficiency and enters the bloodstream directly in high concentrations, an immunologic reaction with skin reactions is possible
While B12 injections do not directly cure FIP, they play a significant role in supporting the immune system and enhancing the cat's response to antiviral therapy
For ongoing care, especially if you have a chronic condition causing the deficiency, you might need maintenance shots, maybe every two months or even monthly
For cats with severe or very frequent episodes, the prognosis is more guarded
