Methylcobalamin comes only as oral medication. Cyanocobalamin is the injectable form.
The reason I would want to try this is because you're not dealing with diabetic neuropathy here. The simple underlying cause may just be a B 12 deficiency, or it could even have something to do with the arthritis. For other possibilities I would ask an orthopedic specialist. (Your vet could do that for you.) Anyway, there is a question whether using the methyl form is indeed essential in this situation. It very well may be. So I would ask the vet if it would be all right to use the oral form as well while trying the injections. Since there is no danger of overdose and B 12 is essentially non-toxic, there would be nothing to worry about.
I would also ask the vet to get in touch with an orthopedic specialist to find out if Baytril could possibly have anything to do with neuropathy. An orthopedic specialist would be my trusted source for this information.
Actually, I'm wondering, would you have access to an orthopedic specialist in your area so Waggles could be seen for an evaluation? It would be wonderful if you could do that.
I would get the injections directly from the vet if your hospital has a pharmacy, or from a local pharmacy. I would not get them online. You wouldn't want more than three anyway, to start with.
