Vitamin B Deficiency and Toxicity in Cats
Cats need B vitamins, but the margin matters: too little brings dry coat, weakness, and spasms, while too much — usually from loading up on liver or human supplements — causes gum disease, stiff neck, poor bone growth, and dull coat. Skip human vitamins and liver-heavy diets; if toxicity appears, cut the source and rebalance with vet-guided fluids and calcium.

What Are the Dangers of Calcium Deficiency in Dogs?
Low calcium in dogs causes joint disease and weak, hard-to-rise front legs in puppies, stunted bones in large breeds, soft 'rubber' legs, and retained baby teeth (a double row). Fix it through absorption — pair supplements with probiotics and add sunlight and exercise — but don't overdo it, since excess strains the kidneys.
