About High Levels of Vitamin D
Why are elevated levels of Vitamin D dangerous? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin needed to regulate calcium and balance phosphorous in a dog's body. However, if consumed in high levels, it can lead to Vitamin D toxicity which can lead to serious health issues in dogs and can affect their kidneys, heart, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Symptoms of Vitamin D toxicity include:
- Vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Increased thirst
- Increased urination
- Abdominal pain
- Excessive drooling
- Weight loss
