Hello. Most calcium doses just result in a transient gastro-intestinal upset, but since you do not indicate how much calcium is in each tablet, it might be best to contact your veterinarian & have a CBC & serum chemistry analysis done. Better safe than sorry & have Storm develop any kidney problems. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
