Green is not always good. In this week’s episode, Dr. Amanda Zetwo recounts her experience with her two dogs, Faith and Moses, when they happened to eat something they weren’t supposed to while out at a park one winter’s evening. Hear Dr. Zetwo’s har
Two dogs and 2 cats with vitamin D toxicosis were treated with intravenous lipid emulsion therapy in addition to standard treatment regimens. Ionized hypercalcemia was lower following intravenous lipid emulsion therapy despite a more than 24-hour delay in initiating treatment in 3 of the 4 patients,...
Vitamin D toxicity is not commonly reported in cats because they seem to be resistant to cholecalciferol toxicosis if their diet is otherwise complete and balanced.91 However, several reports from Japan in the early 1990s documented significant hypercalcemia with clinical signs resulting from hypervitam...
Dogs given excess vitamin D (500 or 1,000 micrograms/kg of body weight each day for 1 to 3 weeks were observed for clinical and pathologic changes of increased blood pressure and of characteristic nephropathy associated with vitamin D toxicosis or hypercalcemia. Serum calcium and serum urea ...

Dogs in the clodronate group were given an infusion of 4mg/kg of clodronate in 150mL 0.9% NaCl solution 24 hours after vitamin D3 administration.Measurements and main results: Clinical signs of vitamin D3 toxicosis were evaluated 48 hours after ingestion of vitamin D3. Dogs that were given...
Intravenous vitamin K1 rapidly reverses the coagulopathic state in dogs with anticoagulant rodenticide toxicosis. It is a viable alternative therapy to plasma transfusion if circumstances preclude its use; however, patients must be monitored for anaphylactoid reactions....
In dogs, the LD50 (the lethal dose which kills 50% of the animals) for cholecalciferol is a one-time dose of over 3,000,000 IU/kg [59], whereas in the case of human beings, the oral delivery of cholecalciferol, at doses exceeding 500 IU/kg/day (37,500 IU/day for a person weig...
Later, in the intestines, the haptocorrin-cobalamin complex is degraded, releasing cobalamins to bind to the “intrinsic factor” (IF), which is a glycoprotein of essentially pancreatic origin in dogs and of gastric origin in humans, forming the complex cobalamin-gastric intrinsic factor (GIF)....
