Rx B12 Forte for Cats
Rx B12 Forte is also formulated for cats.
The current label recommends a small daily serving for feline patients, making the concentrated liquid format practical when measured administration is needed.
How Much Rx B12 Forte Should I Give My Pet?
The current product directions are:
- Cats: 1/4 mL daily
- Dogs under 10 kg: 1/4 mL daily
- Dogs 10 to 20 kg: 1/2 mL daily
- Dogs 20 to 50 kg: 1 mL daily
- Dogs over 50 kg: start at 2 mL daily for one month, then recheck vitamin B12 levels and adjust as directed
Always follow the current product label and your veterinarian's recommendations as the final reference for administration.
Why Is Follow-Up B12 Testing Recommended?
The current label recommends daily administration for approximately 12 weeks to establish a steady state, followed by serum cobalamin testing.
Follow-up testing allows your veterinarian to review your pet's vitamin B12 status and adjust the serving amount when needed.
