Health Risk: How Low Thiamine Affects Cats
Thiamine powers a cat’s nervous system and carbohydrate metabolism. Extended deficiency may cause:
- Loss of appetite, weight loss, drooling, or vomiting
- Neurologic signs such as wobbling, circling, or seizures
- Neck ventroflexion (chin to chest) and vision changes
Prompt veterinary care and thiamine supplementation usually lead to full recovery when caught early.
What Cat Owners Should Do Right Now
- Locate any Quest Cat Food Chicken Recipe in your freezer or pantry.
- Compare the package lot code with the table above.
- Discontinue feeding affected food, even if your cat seems healthy.
- Return the bag to the retailer for a full refund or product exchange.
- Watch your cat for signs of thiamine deficiency and consult your veterinarian if symptoms appear.
