IIRC, eye deformities can be a symptom of vitamin A toxicity. It's best
to use a supplement that provides vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,
which is non-toxic, unlike the vitamin itself. The animal's body converts
the bveta carotene to vitamin A as needed.
Can someone corroborate this, or tell me if I'm confused? I don't trust
my memory, and don't have time to do the research right now.
