Please keep in mind that some varieties of Lily plants can be toxic to animals - especially cats!
The entire lily plant can be toxic: the stem, leaves, flowers, pollen, and even the water in a vase. Eating just a small amount of a leaf or flower petal, licking a few pollen grains off its fur while grooming, or drinking the water from the vase can be toxic. It can cause kidney failure in some cases. The most common clinical signs to look for are vomiting, decreased appetite and lethargy.
Please be sure to keep pets away from these plants this spring season. You can visit the ASPCA's website for more info on specific plants that are most toxic. If you have any concerns that your pet may have ingested a toxic plant, please give us or the local pet ER a call.
