Why Thiamine Matters to Cats

Thiamine supports carbohydrate metabolism and normal nerve impulse transmission. A prolonged deficiency can progress rapidly and may cause:

• Early signs: poor appetite, drooling, vomiting, weight loss
• Advanced signs: wobbly gait, neck bending (ventroflexion), dilated pupils, seizures

With prompt veterinary care and vitamin supplementation, most cats recover fully.
