Many types of lilies are highly toxic to cats, potentially causing severe kidney failure or death. The entire plant, including stems, leaves, flowers, pollen, and even the water in a vase, can be poisonous. Even exposure to pollen alone can be fatal.
Specific Toxic Lilies:
True Lilies (Lilium species): These include Easter lilies, Stargazer lilies, and Asiatic lilies.
Daylilies (Hemerocallis species): These are also highly toxic.
Symptoms of Lily Poisoning:
vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, dehydration, kidney failure, and death.
What to Do if You Suspect Lily Poisoning:
Contact your veterinarian immediately.
Even if your cat seems okay, it's crucial to seek professional advice.
The sooner treatment is started, the better the chances of recovery.
