    Gizzy's neuropathy has become super bad the last 2 weeks. In fact, I don't think he has any feeling left in his back right leg.... I am considering acupuncture for his arthritis pain and the dr said it may very well help his neuropathy as well. Just wondering if anyone has tried it and if you've had any success. I'm desperate - this is really my last resort.

    Neuropathy SHOULD right iteslf with consistant lower bg numbers. I used Methylcobolmine (MB12) and with lower bg numbers had good results in about 5-6 weeks. I thought Trouble would NEVER be able to walk properly again but he did.

    I know there is a condition with the lack of potassium that causes leg weakness Maybe your Vet should test for this?

    At any rate I wish you the best for you and your kitty. Ive never used accupuncture for neuropathy and hadnt heard anyone else that has either...good luck,

    Acupuncture has helped some cats, so it's worth a try.
