===[[Hypervitaminosis A]]===
 
 
 
 
 
===Hypervitaminosis D===
 
 
 
*May be of dietary or iatrogenic origin (has narrow safety margin)
 
*Key features are hypercalcaemia with metastatic calcification of soft tissues
 
*'''Acute poisoning'''
 
**In dogs and cats often from rodenticides containing cholecalciferol
 
**Grossly:
 
***Gastrointestinal haemorrhage
 
***Foci of [[Myocardial Mineralisation|myocardial discoloration]]
 
**Microscopically:
 
***Mucosal haemorrhage
 
***Necrosis of crypts
 
***Focal myocardial necrosis
 
***Mineralisation of intestinal mucosa, [[Arterial Calcification#Medial calcification|blood vessel walls]], [[Pulmonary Calcification|lungs]] and kidneys
 
*'''Chronic poisoning'''
 
**Grossly:
 
***Intense [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoclastic activity]] -> active resorption of bone, especially [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|trabecular]]
 
**Microscopically:
 
***Excessive production of [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology|osteoid]] - appears both eosinophilic and basophilic in different places
 
***Marrow cavity may be obliterated
 
***Mineralisation of soft tissues, especially [[Arterial Calcification|blood vessel walls]]
 
**Due to inhibition of [[Calcium|Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)|PTH]] and increase of [[Calcium#Calcitonin|calcitonin]]

===Fluorine poisoning===
 
 
 
*F is widespread in nature
 
*Pastures may be contaminated by industrial processes (e.g. brick manufacture)
 
*'''Acute poisoning''':
 
**Gastroenteritis
 
**Nephrosis
 
*'''Chronic poisoning''':
 
**''Dental abnormalities''
 
***Intoxication during teeth development
 
***Foci of poor enamel formation - yellow, dark brown/black, chalky
 
***Irregular wear of teeth, chip easily
 
**''Osteodystrophy = Fluorosis''
 
***Generalised skeletal disturbance
 
***Most affected are metatarsals and mandibles
 
***Periosteal hyperostosis + endosteal bone resorption -> thickened bones with enlarged marrow cavities

===Lead poisoning===
 
 
 
*Lead can bind to mineral portion of bone and cartilage
 
*In young animals ingesting large dose at once
 
** -> Lead induced malfunction of osteoclasts
 
** -> Transverse band of increased density on radiographs of metaphysis = "lead line" = [[Retention of Elongated Primary Trabeculae|growth retardation lattice]]
