Hi 36Hele,

Several months ago, a few Australian Citizens posted about lack of supplies. Someone popped along and offered advice.

Over a year or so ago, I was having a conversation with one of my nurse friends. He knew the importance of hydroxycobalamin, cyanocobalamin especially in his speciality. He said worse case scenario get it from a vet. My cousin is one.

In the U.K. 70 % of the imported Hydroxycobalamin is used by vets. Then I had a discussion with someone who resides in the USA. Again, animals are treated better than us. So, several months ago when your fellow country people were saying how difficult it was to source, I checked out whether I could get Toto some medication if we moved to Oz. Of course, he can but I cannot. Odd that ?

Someone will hopefully be along to signpost you as to where you can obtain some.

Best of luck
