One of my cats may have eaten a 50mcg Vitamin D3 pill

Hi there! I'm so glad you reached out about your kitty. Cats can be quite curious, and it's not uncommon for them to get into things they shouldn't. Vitamin D3 can be harmful to cats if ingested in large enough amounts, so it's important to monitor your furry friend closely.



In high doses, Vitamin D3 could cause some issues, including increased thirst, urination, vomiting, diarrhea, or even loss of appetite. Occasionally, more serious signs like weakness, drooling, or muscle tremors can occur. However, a single 50mcg tablet might not lead to severe reactions unless your cat is very small or particularly sensitive.



At home, keep a close eye on your cat over the next 24-48 hours. Ensure they have easy access to fresh water and maintain their regular diet. If you notice vomiting, diarrhea, reduced appetite, or any of the more serious signs I mentioned, it's important to get them checked by a vet.



Please don't hesitate to book a video consult with us at Dial A Vet if you have any concerns or if your cat begins showing symptoms. We're here to help, and it's always better to be safe when it comes to our beloved pets' health. Take care!
