Vitamin D3 Supplementation

An adult male cat presented to the Ontario Veterinary College after having a seizure at the humane society. The cat was diagnosed with primary hypoparathyroidism and was treated with calcium and vitamin D3 supplementation. Calcium supplementation included subcutaneous (SC) administration of diluted calcium gluconate according to protocols described in recent literature. Seven days after SC calcium administration, firm SC masses developed in the intrascapular area where the injections were given and in the dependent axillary area. These areas became raised, formed crusts, necrosed, and left scars. Although not histopathologically confirmed, the author postulates that this was a direct reaction to SC calcium gluconate administration.

Medical Evaluation

A 6-month-old, female border collie was referred for evaluation of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, fever, and painful ventral abdominal skin. She had recently been treated intravenously and subcutaneously (SC) with a diluted 10% calcium gluconate solution. The medical evaluation supported the diagnosis of primary hypoparathyroidism, but the subsequent hospital course was complicated by severe calcinosis cutis, which caused extensive skin necrosis and marked debilitation. This patient illustrates that administration of a calcium gluconate solution SC can be associated with extensive morbidity when administered to hyperphosphatemic patients.

First Case

A 3,480 g male neonate showed tachypnea symptom with a serum ionized calcium level of 0.66 mmol/L by routine clinical analysis. He was injected calcium gluconate intravenously through femoral vein catheter to treat the hypocalcemia. On second day after the injection, he started to show erythema in the flank area. The lesion became firm and changed into whitish crust consist of small crystals. Abdominal X-ray and ultrasonography showed the accumulation of calcium deposit in the subcutaneous layer of the lesion. Surgical debridement was performed to remove the crust with calcium deposit and acellular fish skin graft rich in omega-3 (Kerecis) was applied to the defect site for secondary intention of the defect wound. After 2 months, the skin and soft tissue defect were fully covered with healthy normal skin without depression or contracture. This report is a first case of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis without extravasation symptom.
