Shelter’s Choice Canine Milk Replacer is being recalled for both low and elevated vitamin D levels in some of the products. Two complaints of rickets have been reported to the company to date. The recalling firm is Revival Animal Health of Orange City, Iowa.
Dogs ingesting elevated levels of Vitamin D may suffer from symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, excessive drooling, and weight loss. Vitamin D when consumed at very high levels can lead to serious health issues in dogs including renal dysfunction. Consumers with dogs that have consumed any of the affected products and are exhibiting these symptoms should contact their veterinarian. Low vitamin D levels can lead to rickets.
