Common conclusions

Your cat doesn't show any common neurological symptom of Thiamine (Vitamin B1) deficiency. Neurological symptoms may be preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting. Excess salivation, depressed appetite, and weight loss can also be seen before neurological symptoms present. If your cat is showing any of these symptoms, consult with your veterinarian. To prevent thiamine deficiency, feed your cat a high-quality, well-balanced diet.

I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology.
