Don't know about toxicity, but I do know my grandmother put me on mega doses
of Vitamin C when I was a kid, and before it became popular for the general
public, and I came down with a case of diarrhea I still remember- not a good
result in man or beast.

And, Avraham, there are sufficient physiological differences between species
that something minor in one species can be fatal in another- vomitting, for
example, will kill a horse, but is a minor inconvenience to cats, dogs, and
humans.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.
