The good and bad of vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for maintaining the correct balance of calcium and phosphorous. Too much can be deadly. Typically vitamin D poisoning happens from our fur kids finding rodent poisons not from eating dog food. If your dog eats any of these brands I suggest following the links to see exactly which lots are involved in the recalls. Talk with your vet if your dog has eaten any of them.
Symptoms
What to watch for when dealing with vitamin D toxicity:
- weakness
- depression
- loss of appetite
- increased thirst and urination
- vomiting
