I don't understand why they are not treating the B12 at this point. I cannot think of any reason not too. You don't need to know the cause of the B12 deficiency in order to treat it.

You can treat it yourself or contact his GP/peds doc for guidance instead of waiting two weeks. Proper oral supplementation is just as effective as B12 shots.
