Treatment should be instituted immediately for any animal suspected of having thiamine deficiency. Thiamine should be administered at 50–100 mg per dog and 25–50 mg per cat IM, SC or PO every 12–24 h until a response is obtained or another diagnosis is established. Emergency management of seizures can be performed as described in Chapter 24. The underlying cause of thiamine deficiency should be identified and managed. The majority of affected dogs and cats respond rapidly to thiamine supplementation and diet change.
