Veterinarians Report Mysterious Link Between Dog Food and Hypercalcemia

The following article can be found at http://news.vin.com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=16468

Excessive Vitamin D3 can cause hypercalcemia. While nothing conclusive has been determined at this time, veterinarians are reporting a possible link between a particular Blue Buffalo formula and a number of dogs coming down with hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia is an excess of calcium in the blood, which can lead to the calcification of organs. In 2006, some Royal Canin prescription diets were formulated with too much synthetic Vitamin D3 causing hypercalcemia, which led to the death of a number of dogs and cats who were fed the food.
