Calcitonin has a multitude of physiologic effects. It principally acts on bone inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption. By reducing tubular reabsorption of calcium, phosphate, sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride, it promotes their renal excretion. Calcitonin also increases jejunal secretion of water, sodium, potassium and chloride (not calcium).
Calcitriol may be potentially beneficial in the adjunctive treatment of chronic renal disease in dogs and cats but its use is somewhat controversial, particularly the decision on how soon in the course of chronic renal insufficiency it should employed. It may also be of benefit in treating some types of dermatopathies (primary idiopathic seborrhea).
