    Default Re: Question About Vitamin Toxicity

    From what I've read on a few sites that the symptoms of,

    Vitamin deficiency:

    Swelling around eyes and mouth
    Nasal discharge
    Stomatitis (inflammation of the lining of mouth)
    Weakness
    Loss of appetite; weight loss
    Decreased growth rate
    Can be fatal in severe cases

    Vitamin Toxicity (Leading to organ failure if not treated):

    Weight loss
    Anorexia
    Lethargy
    Swollen or distended abdomen
    Frequent urination
    Rapid dehydration
    Constipation
    Thickened and yellowing urates
    Gross reduction in interactive responses

    I mean as long as you're not supplementing your frog with vitamins more than once a week not including your every now and then 2:1 ratio calcium/phosphorus supplement you're not going to run into overdoses. You would really have to be just everyday excessively dusting food. But what do I know, I'm just a new member.
