Erica,
I am sending you the link for a posting(s) on another board.
If you scroll down a little thru the thread you will find an abstract on B12
study .
"Vitamin B-12 deficiency induces anomalies of base substitution and methylation
in the
DNA of rat colonic epithelium.

I do not have the whole paper but I am sure there is enough info there for your
vet to read
or for you to be able to look up the entire paper. I thought I had a link to
the whole paper..
sorry.
But if I find it I will send that later.
Perhaps the decussions around the use of it that are on this page .. those
who are giving
their cats the injections might be helpful to you too . Everyone that I have
seen post about
it says they prefer sub q shot to pill. and that their cats don't mind .
wanted to mention that sometimes folate (pill form because of how it is
absorbed) is
given with it because they work together.
not sure on the doseage there . seems the IBD board may be a place to check out
some
info on it.
here is the page link:

hope it helps .
let me know if you have trouble with the link and i will try and figure it out.
i am just thinking that you may have to register to get the link. well try and
see and let me
know and we'll go from there.
best,
cheryl

I talked to my vet and she told me that they don't prescribe it and that this
injection is very
painful to a cat.
