About Thiamine deficiency in cats:

  • Thiamine is essential for cats. Cats fed only diets low in thiamine for several weeks may be at risk for developing a thiamine deficiency.
  • Symptoms of deficiency displayed by an affected cat can be gastrointestinal or neurological in nature.
  • Early signs of thiamine deficiency may include decreased appetite, salivation, vomiting, and weight loss.
  • In advanced cases, neurologic signs can develop, which may include ventriflexion (bending towards the floor) of the neck, wobbly walking, circling, falling, and seizures.
  • If your cat has consumed the recalled lot and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.
  • If treated promptly, thiamine deficiency is typically reversible.
