Vitamin D overdose in cat?

[goldengoddess]

Help, I am worried that my cat may have been inadvertantly been given an overdose of vitamin D.

I had a friends and her seven year old daughter here this morning, and she was playing with our ten year old cat. unbeknown to me she had also got hold of a vitamin D supplement spray, and I think she has sprayed the cat's mouth with it - the cat smells of mint. Anyway, each dose (ie one spray) is 3000 international units. or 75 ug, and I am now terrified the cat is going to die as there are all sorts of horror stories online as to the toxicity of Vit D to cats.

Am trying to get hold of my vet but on hold, meanwhile has anyone any advice? am i worrying unnecessarily?

ps. meanwhile I have been washing the poor cat's mouth, face and paws trying to remove any traces of the spray.

I have no idea I'm afraid. Hopefully you've now spoken to your vet.

they are phoning up some national veterinary toxicology department to find out. I have a horrible feeling the cat is going to have to go to hospital for a couple of days to be detoxed..

Oh god I hope he’s ok. You poor thing.

Is he OK OP?

Is your cat okay? Besides the high level of Vitamin D, the mint oil is also highly toxic to cats. It is not the same as catmint.

I posted on here last week Mia that a cat in our clinic died from clove oil which his misguided owners had been giving him for toothache.

I hope the OP's cat is doing well.

Sorr for very belated reply but my cat survived to tell the tale and is fine. Obviously didn't absorb much of the vit D spray! Despite my fears!

Oh good. I was thinking about that just the other day.
