Hello,
My Eclectus, Poe, is low in vitamin D due to it being winter.
Is human grade vitamin D ok?
I know that the body cannot overdose on vitD as it is processed out in the urine/poo, so even though I would be offering only a drop in his food, I just wanted to know if anyone has read whether this is ok?
My vet offers a bird-variety vitD but it's expensive and I figured human grade would be just fine in smaller doses. (My other vet for my dog actually recommended human grade glucosamine for his aging joints, so it's not like animals cannot process human vitamins.)
Any researched advice would be great.
Thanks
