Lilies (even just the pollen, or water from the vase) are extremely toxic to cats!

PET POISON PREVENTION MONTH

A couple of weeks ago, Kiki was living her best life with her Dad who spoils her rotten (as she deserves), when she gave everyone quite the scare! One morning, her Dad found her standing in a puddle of water from a tipped over vase of flowers. Many owners would have thought nothing of it, cleaning up the water while muttering about their naughty cat. But luckily, her Dad noted there were lilies in the vase and called the clinic to ask if he should be worried.

Our staff immediately informed him that lilies are extremely toxic to cats and he should bring her right in to see the doctor. Despite her having no symptoms yet indicating intoxocation, and no indication that she had definitely ingested the flower or water, her Dad made the safe decision to hospitalize her for treatment including aggressive IV fluid therapy to protect her kidneys. And thank goodness he did! Even with quick and appropriate intervention, 24 hours later Kiki’s kidney values had doubled on her blood chemistry.

Luckily, since her Dad acted quickly and chose the safest course, after three days of fluid therapy among other treatments, Kiki’s kidney values returned to normal and we expect her to have no long term damage.

Kiki was very lucky! Lilies are one the most dangerous toxins to our housecats. Ingesting even a small amount of the plant, pollen, or even the water from a vase can cause life threatening kidney failure. Luckily, prompt veterinary care and fluid therapy can reverse the effects of the toxin if instituted PRIOR to symptoms developing. The safest course is to avoid having lilies anywhere near your cat(s). But in the case your cat may have been accidentally exposed, be sure to seek veterinary care immediately.

We are so glad that Kiki’s story had a happy ending. Hopefully she can help educate others of the risks of lily toxicity so no other cats and cat owners have to go through the same scary experience.
