Depends what you're treating and with what.
B-12 (cyanocobalamin) might be given as a supplement to a diabetic cat who is also having food absorption problems. In that case your vet will know how much to administer, generally as a shot.
Methyl B-12 (methylcobalamin) is the B-12 form that can be used by the brain and spine. It might be given orally to treat diabetic neuropathy (weak or paralyzed hind legs). In that case, 3-5 micrograms daily seems to work well. In this case regular cyanocobalamin has no effect, since that molecule is too large to pass the blood-brain barrier.
