Ahh… I’ve noticed Melbcat’s fur looking a bit spiky with a few greasy spots on her lower back. It’s hard for her to groom there because of a long back and bending with arthritis but I think the increased oil is from the vitamin b deficiency.

The mega doses orally from the fortified nutritional yeast and the monthly vet shots don’t seem to be enough then. I’m going to have to harden up and give her the extra shots at home.

For now I’m helping her with brushing and she hates it

Check with the vet first. Even at the end, Punkin didn't need more than his monthly shot.

I was told by the vet because of her gut malabsorption (ibd) she would need shots weekly, I just have a thing about needles and was also afraid of accidentally hurting her.

Feeling bad as I don’t think feeding her the fortified stuff is getting more of it absorbed… guess I have to
