  • Who realised here how dangerous lillies were to cats? I certainly didn't.
    So just a heads up, daughter found new kitten covered in pollen from some lillies I had bought wifey, ( actually saw her with her head in flower ) and remembering something she had heard called the vet for advice.
    Vet said bring her in IMMEDIATELY . Can cause kidney failure in 6 to 12 hours and if not treated straight away is often fatal.
    So kitten on a drip , flushed her through , blood samples taken and had to give her activated charcoal last night, and she's had to go in again today to repeat.
    They think after her third blood test last night she gonna be ok as we got her there quickly.
    So watch out peeps, if this had happened whilst she was on her own .......
    And apparently is ALL parts of plant even if they get pollen on fur and then wash themselves.

  • Lilies are the worst from what I've read, but any from-a-bulb-with-stamen type flowers are bad, ie. daffodils, tulips.

    Very glad to hear quick action saved the day.

  • Thanks buddy , all I can say is thank fuck for decent vets.
    And pet plan, yesterday was £700 and probably same for today!
