Abstract:
The recommended daily allowance of vitamin D has been increased. Toxicosis in pets may increase as a result. A dog ingested ~ 200 000 IU of vitamin D, serum concentrations were above the reference range (RR) and decreased to the RR after lipid treatment. This is the first known report of lipid treatment for hypervitaminosis D.
