Hannah4181 260 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Hi, i have never heard of the product you've mentioned to improve a dogs appetite. When you say he has a "bad appetite" . . .. do you mean he is a fussy eater or just doesn't eat a large quantity of food? Is he under weight? What do you feed him?

samba 534 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 yes mate heard of it and used it yrs ago its vitb12 in liquid form use the injection form now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shell 42 Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 cytacon - you can get over the counter at the chemists... smaller chemists might have to order it for you, but it's usually there the same day if you go early enough to order it. As someone else said, it's vitamin b12 in liquid form. Injectable B12, I think it's called Intravet or Intravit... you can get from Hyperdrug (I believe it isn't a prescription drug, but you've to answer a few questions about the animal who'll you be giving it to), I got some from Hyperdrug/canine chemists a few months ago and it's under a tenner a bottle... but you'll need needles etc with it being injectable. Either of the above are good for picking up appetites in dogs. Cytacon (the human one) is given to elderly people and kids that have gone off their food. Hope this is of some use to you!

shell 42 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 cytacon - I think we gave a 5ml tsp full to a lurcher pup... so I'd maybe give a big lurcher a tablespoon a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
