This disease is very common, the symptoms depend directly on the type of vitamin deficiency.
Detailed information is given in the table:
Avitaminosis
Vitamin deficiency is another unpleasant disease that has a lot of consequences; it is a more serious form of hypovitaminosis.
Manifestations depend primarily on the type of missing vitamin:
The most common lack of vitamin A in all types of animals , a special risk group is females in a state of pregnancy and nursing; young animals are also susceptible to this disease.
They manifest themselves as dry skin, problems with hair, dermatitis, and eczema. Vitamin A deficiency can also be determined if the animal has increased tear production, fear of light, or other eye problems.
Paralysis or poor coordination may occur in pigs and sheep. Animals lacking vitamin A have difficulty producing offspring due to miscarriages or infertility in females and poor spermogenesis in males.
Vitamin B deficiency is common in young pigs, horses and ruminants; adult animals synthesize the vitamin in the rumen and the disease is extremely rare among them.
Symptoms include problems with the nervous system, including ataxia, spasms and a high level of excitability. Problems with skin, coat and weight also appear.
Vitamin D deficiency is most common in piglets, lambs and kids and is most common in winter when there is a lack of sunlight.
It manifests itself as slow growth and lethargy, leading to thickening of the epiphyses and curvature of the spine and tubular bones. It becomes difficult to move and therefore the animals rarely move.
Problems with the reproductive system and metabolic processes usually appear due to a lack of vitamin E.

How to use Eleovit multivitamins for dogs and turtles
There is also nothing in the instructions regarding the use of this drug for pets such as turtles and dogs. However, this happens often in veterinary medicine.
First about turtles. They are prescribed this remedy only if they have hypovitaminosis A, and it is pronounced. Unlike other animals, the dosage for a turtle is calculated based on its exact weight down to the gram. The calculation is taken as follows - 0.8 ml per kilogram of turtle weight. You should not try to calculate the weight of a turtle by eye. This could backfire. Typically, the turtle is given one or two injections at intervals of two weeks. Depending on her condition. They prick it between the upper and lower shell in the area between the tail and hind paw. The turtle injection site is not treated with anything.
And now about the dogs. Instructions on how to use this remedy for these four-legged friends are difficult to find online. Reviews most often, on the contrary, say that it is not recommended for use on dogs. So if you think that your dog could benefit from Eleovit, consult your veterinarian about this.
Instructions for use in veterinary medicine
Eleovit is administered to animals intramuscularly in the hip or neck area, shifting the skin at the injection site to the side to avoid leakage of the solution.
In winter, before use, the medicine should be heated in a water bath to room temperature.
For preventive purposes (under stress, during periods of intense stress, high productivity, pregnant animals, in case of reproductive dysfunction, retarded growth and development of young animals, during the period of vaccination, deworming, recovery from illnesses), Eleovit is administered once every 2-3 weeks.
For therapeutic purposes, the drug is administered once every 7-15 days in doses:
Eleovit is administered to pregnant sows 1.5-2.0 months before farrowing.
Symptoms of overdose when using the drug in accordance with the instructions were not identified.
The specific effects of the drug upon its first use and withdrawal have not been established.
Avoid skipping the next dose of the drug, as this may lead to a decrease in therapeutic effectiveness. If one dose is missed, the use of the drug is resumed at the same dosage and according to the same regimen.
For turtles
Note that the doses for domestic reptiles are very small; they need to be calculated accurately. The norm for small turtles is 0.4-0.6 ml/kg of weight.
For adults, take more - 0.8 ml/kg. An 80-gram baby will need only 0.048 ml of solution.
You can “catch” such a small dose using insulin syringes. But there is one nuance - they have different divisions and steps. The easiest way to work is with 0.3 and 0.5 ml syringes in increments of 5 (it’s easier to set the desired division on them).
Treatment involves 1, maximum 2 injections. A second injection is carried out after a 2-week break, and this ends the course. The injection site is not treated.
The solution is injected into the gluteal region, between the hind leg and tail, closer to the carapace. You need to get between the shields by driving the syringe shallowly (2 mm is enough).
When removing the needle, apply a little pressure to this area, thereby dulling the pain. It is advisable to gently massage this area for several minutes, which will calm the pet.
After some time, a ball may appear at the injection site. It's okay, it'll do.
