What happens if a Labrador gets too much calcium?
Excess calcium can cause hypercalciuria, raising urinary stone risk. It may also calcify cartilage too early, close the fontanelle prematurely and affect brain development; early epiphyseal closure limits height.

Stool has water and poop, sandy brown poop
Severe diarrhea is usually acute enteritis; brown stool suggests upper GI bleeding. Give pet anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal (neomycin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, gentamicin, bismuth, smectite). Feed light, low-allergy, digestible food. If no relief, see a vet to avoid dehydration and anemia.
