Question: Should I let my cat eat Lily’s?
Answer:

I would advise against it Lily’s are highly poisonous.

Lillies (the plant/flower) are becoming increasingly popular to have in the household and they are EXTREMELY TOXIC TO CATS

SIGNS OF TOXICITY-

·        Vomiting

·        Depression

·        Loss of appetite

These signs can begin within 2 hours of eating the plant and then may appear to improve however within 24 to 72 hours the cat can become CRITICALLY ill.

Drinking a lot of water

Dehydration

Abdominal pain

Acute irreversible kidney failure

If untreated then the cat could die within 3- arts of the Lily are 7 days

 

ALL p poisonous- flowers, stamen, stem, leaves and roots.

Intoxication can be caused by eating or licking at the plant

ONLY A VERY VERY SMALL amount of material needs to be ingested to cause fatal kidney disease.

 

Please notify us straight away if you think your cat may have had access to Lily plants and is showing ANY signs of being unwell.
