Blood samples taken in one third of the volunteers (n = 1089) were tested for a variety of micronutrients, including hemoglobin, indicative of iron intake, soluble transferrin receptor, serum ferritin, retinol, vitamin C, beta - carotene, alpha - tocopherol, vitamin B6, cobalamin, holo - transcobalamin, plasma folate, RCB folate and vitamin D.

They include: Vitamin B1 (thiamine), Vitamin B2 (riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (niacin), Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), Vitamin B7 (biotin or vitamin H), Vitamin B9 (folic acid), Vitamin B12 (cobalamins).

Facts about vitamin B12 (cobalamin) show that in developed countries the number of people with low vitamin B12 is rampant not only among elderly people, vegans and vegetarians but actually among entire population including younger individuals or those who consume dairy and meat products on a regular basis.

The B - complex vitamins include thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B - 12).

These included feline serum TLI, canine and feline serum PLI, canine and feline fecal alpha 1 - proteinase inhibitor, unconjugated serum bile acids, canine TSH, and canine and feline serum cobalamin and folate assays.

Disorders that may affect serum cobalamin and / or folate concentrations include small intestinal inflammation, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

Managing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency involves a five - pronged approach that includes supplementation with digestive enzymes missing from the dog's pancreas, feeding the dog 150 percent of her usual rations, treatment for bacterial overgrowth in the gut that results from the disease, cobalamin supplementation, and a low - fiber diet.

Treatment may also include supplemental cobalamin (B12) injections that help reestablish friendly bacteria colonies, which in turn helps inhibit the malabsorption.

Such tests include but are not limited to infectious disease titers, thyroid hormone analysis (T4, fT4, T3, TSH), specialized liver tests (blood ammonia), Cushing's disease or Addison's disease tests (such as basal cortisol level, ACTH stimulation test, HDDS or LDDS tests, dexamethasone suppression test), insulin: glucose ratio, pancreas - assessment tests (PLI, TLI, cobalamin, folate), creatinine kinase, ionized calcium, PTH or PTHrP, SDMA for renal assessment, serum protein electrophoresis, tests to assess blood clotting (PT, PTT, ACT, TT, FDPs, D - dimers), and blood gas measurements.
