Vitamin D toxicity in dogs

Do you know that dogs can't break down vitamin D toxicity? Do you know that you should never give your dog vitamin D capsules we take ?
As you may remember, in 2018 the FDA ordered a full recall of two companies' feed that contained vitamin D. Since then, products that do not contain vitamin D or contain small amounts of vitamin D have been released.
Below is an introduction to what the FDA has stipulated.

* Symptom
Vomiting, loss of appetite, more urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss

As you can see from the symptoms, taking vitamin D does not threaten life or death, but the liver cannot detoxify the toxins, which puts a strain on the organs in the body.

* Diagnosis
A blood sample may be taken to measure calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels, or urine may be obtained to evaluate kidney function.

* Treatment
Block the source of vitamin D (change feed)

The greatest benefit of vitamin D is that it helps the absorption of calcium to maintain bone health.
Patellar dislocation and hip dysplasia also start with a problem of bone density, but the reality is that there is a problem with the supply of vitamin D because feed and supplements do not include vitamin D in dogs.
Research is being actively conducted to develop non-toxic vitamin D, so we look forward to the day when dogs can consume vitamin D.
