This is our Lilly (5 yo, F). She ate a flower on Monday that turned out to be poisonous lilly to her. As of Wednesday, she is barely hanging on. Please send good vibes to her.

wish lilly the best of luck !!!

I know everyone would like an update. I wish I could share one. I will not know anything until morning.

Unfortunately it’s going to be a long night wondering if she’ll make it at the vet.

In the midst of the grim news today, my wife and I visited her at the vet. They took her out of her cage and put her in a room where the sun was shining.

At home, she likes the windows open and sitting in the sun.

She is not lethargic. She is alert and standing, but not eating. We desperately need her to urinate as that is a sign that kidneys are working.

Please pray for these next 24 hours.

Lilly Update 10:00 a.m.:

I just got off the phone with the vet. Lilly is still with us but not with a better prognosis. We are almost 72 hours since the ingestion of lilies.

The lily toxicity has caused irreparable damage to her kidneys. The kidney values in her blood work are increasing. This means she is not urinating the toxins out at an effective rate. They are giving her medication to help with urine production.

​

If the kidney values are still increasing after 24 hours, we may have to make that dreaded decision. If it comes to that, we are bringing her home one last time.

If she overcomes this episode, her lifespan has been shortened. We pray we can get at least 5 more years at the most with her.

My wife, boys, other fur babies, and I want to thank everyone for their prayers and well wishes. They are needed now over the next 24 hours more than ever!

I’m so sorry and I hope your precious kitty recovers.

Separately, I think we need a sticky at the top of r/cats warning cat owners to keep ALL flowers and essential oils away from their cats. It would save lives.

I wanna thank everyone for prayers and well wishes. I had a breakdown tonight before making this post but seeing the responses is putting a smile on my face.

No matter what the outcome is, thank you!

At a later date, I will share pics of our other fur babies Tinsel and Poppy (from the same litter as Lilly).

Hang on, Lilly!

5:00 update:

She still has trouble peeing.

If there are any cat experts and/or vets in this thread, would it be best for us to bring her home for the night and put her in a calm room with a litter box to see if she’ll go?

The vet tech said one reason why she is probably not going is because she is nervous.

Hope she pulls through. She’s clearly loved dearly. Sending good vibes and my cat’s healing purrs to Lilly.

Oh, all of my best wishes to you and Lilly

9 AM: No update from the vet yet. Please keep sending prayers to her

I just tell most people to not get me flowers because the majority of the population aren’t aware of how dangerous they are to cats, especially Lillys. I think before a cat is adopted, people should be made aware somehow so things like this can be prevented. I’ve seen it in this sub far too often. I remember telling my mom that her flowers were incredibly dangerous to her cats, and she scoffed at me, so I dumped them outside. I don’t give a shit, I really only care about the cats. I wish Lilly the best of luck, and I hope she pulls through!!!

Me and my little dumbass are thinking of you and Lilly, and hope we have you a chuckle with this ☺️

Iris wants Lilly to be her flower friend. Flowers in names, not tummies. May Lilly push through to be as old and grumpy as Iris is. She's 13 and doesn't want to share anything with her stinky little brother.

Sophie and I are hanging out hoping that Lily pulls through!

My Bean and chewing Lillies survivor is sending your Lilly strong survivor energy. Bean spent three days in hospital and came out alive last year. The only lasting damage is to her voice. The toxins damaged her vocal cords and now her meows are very subdued and scratchy. I’ve since banned all plants from our house and all replaced by plastic. Any flowers brought in by visitors are placed out of any cats reach.

Best of luck Lilly!! My cat Chilli looks exactly like her and also eats things he’s not supposed to

9:00 am update:

We have not heard anything. We want to try to bring her home today.

Good luck, Lilly! You're a beautiful, strong girl with humans who love you very much, and even more people rooting for you! Keep fighting through it, and we all wish you a speedy and full recovery.

My cat also ate a poisonous plant around the same age as Lilly. After she was hospitalized she lived another 11 years. Praying and sending good vibes that Lilly recovers and lives a long and healthy life too.

My Lily hopes your Lilly feels better. (And so do I!)

Please give us an update!

All my hopes, and from my Lily to your Lilly

This post enacted me to immediately research the plant currently on my counter. My mom just bought a huge hydrangea plant (she’s 75, and can be a bit naive or absentminded with items left out). She intended on keeping it out on the table for Easter then planting it outdoors. It turns out these plants are listed as toxic to cats. She doesn’t want it outside due to the chill, so out to the garage it goes!! We have 4 cats… with the babies (Barry and Bean) not even a year yet. I have already taken them off the counters 3 times already!! So we truly THANK YOU for this critical timed post. And I am so, so sorry that it even happened. I hope Lilly gets better soon!!

Poor baby.

Also, Lilly, don’t eat stuff just because it’s named after you.

My girl did something similar about a year ago. Ate or drank something. Kept her with me overnight after fluids. She was so cold and tired but she hung on! Now she’s on special food for her stomach.

Her Royal Highness Princess Calisto Fuzzybutt sends her best wishes for a speedy recovery for your loved one Lilly.

You can do it Lilly.

My 1 year old orange got himself covered in pollen a couple weeks ago. There was a single asiatic lily in a bouquet I didn’t notice. As I immediately started to wash the pollen off I noticed he was licking it off his chest.

I knew I had to go to an emergency vet right away.

Luckily for us he never got hit with too many symptoms but flushing their system out with the fluids definitely works. He was out in 48 hours and is doing just fine.

There is absolutely hope for Lilly. I know it’s terrible. The first night waiting, knowing nothing really gets to you. Blaming yourself, feeling so shit for letting it happen.

Stop googling prognostics, let somebody who just went through this with their kitty doing just fine provide you some relief for now and spark some hope and positivity.

You got this Lilly.

This happened to my boy when my daughter brought home a bouquet from a flower-arranging class. Thankfully we actually saw him biting the flower and he didn't ingest more than a tiny bit of it. Still, an emergency trip and overnight monitoring at the 24-hour vets is nerve-wracking.

I really hope your Lilly gets better. You being by her side will give her comfort, whatever happens.

Oh my gosh. Best vibes coming her way from my tuxedo girl to yours.

Dear Lily, please get well soon...

To Lily's Pet Parents, I really hope you have the strength to carry on & your Floofster has a speedy recovery too.

This is my son, who has crossed the rainbow bridge. He is looking out for your baby. I hope it all turns out well 🥺🙏🏼💜

Praying for Lilly🙏🏾🙏🏾

My five cats and I send all of our love and strength to Lilly. May she pull through and make a complete recovery! 🙏 Cats are unbelievably resilient. Five years ago, my 15 y.o. Homer went to the ER with a stomach ache, unable to hold down food. They gave him anti-nausea meds and sent him home. By the following day, he was in ICU with sepsis, clinging to life. We verbally agreed to say goodbye and they started getting ready to put him to sleep until he attempted to stand up. We told them to keep trying and 6 hours later he was stable. He spent 9 days hospitalized and went home with a feeding tube that he proudly removed by himself 5 weeks later (scaring us half to death) once he regained full strength. We had 2 more great years with him before losing him to kidney disease.

My oldest dog just did this too we think. I had a bouquet one each of Peruvian and Oriental lillies from Trader Joes that dried up and shed petals everywhere. I noticed there werent any on the floor so we think she ate them. We rushed her to the vet on a monday for anorexia (never seen this dog refuse food in her 12 years), heavy hard breathing, diarrhea, and potbelly either from increased thirst or liver swelling that started on the previous saturday night. We're rural so there is no vet ER. Liver enzymes were high, white blood cells & neutrophils were a little high. She got a prescription antioxidant for her liver (Denamarin), cyproheptadine for appetite stimulation, and enrofloxacin for possible infection. ALT came down rapidly, 494 to 223 in just a week but ALP went from 230 to 260 at the same time. Recheck blood in a month now and she's acting normal so she might be ok or have gallbladder damage to investigate if ALP is still high.

I saw that you said Kitty Lilly has already puked and seen a vet, its possibly a good thing. Hopefully some of the flowers came out in the puke. My dog continued feeling bad on the first day of treatment, moved around some more on day 2, and was pretty normal on day 3. It's been 15 days since treatment started and she's a normal dog again despite her blood saying theres still some healing to do. You should see improvement very soon <3

Best wishes to Lilly, stay strong 💙💙

My bf and I have been fostering a litter of 5 since 8th March. They were only a few weeks old. 3 were adopted recently.

One of them had a head trauma 10 days ago. It was a difficult week following up with vet who said he won't make it but the little fellow showed signs of improvement in 4 days. We continued up until this morning he passed on while in our hands. He had hypothermia as he crawled out of his bed and probably knew he won't make it so isolated himself in a cold corner of the room. We had just found someone with experience last evening who was willing to give him full care today onwards. The timing is just sad. Such is fate :( poor fellow didn't make it. Now we're left with one kitten, the only female of the litter. She is adorable and the most vocal and loving of them all.

Oh, I am so sorry. I truly hope she pulls through. Lots of love from me and Penelope ❤️

Give her lots of water to flush her out if possible boil some water throw some chicken in it and give her the broth after it's done !

Hey lil LilLil...You hang in there, baby!

I understand your kidneys need to get to excreting the toxins from the plant you ate...if I may, I would like to send to you some long distance Reiki energy.

[Image] 

Peaceful at home. I had five weeks of loving and comforting her. She was walking around until the last 24 hours. 💔

Prayers for Lilly (and your mom) … please keep us posted.

Heal up fast Lilly! One of my worst nightmares. I actually show my boyfriend what flowers are poisonous to cats so he doesn’t bring me any.

Best of luck to you and sweet Lilly 💕💕

Praying for your Lilly 🙏

Please survive Lilly! You have people that love you and need you very badly.

I my cat appeared to eat something poisonous when he was pretty young and was knocking on deaths door. Vet wanted tons of money and I couldn't afford it. I got him fluids and I think left him overnight and took him the next day. He made a recovery. Anythings possible. Tell Lilly to hang in there!

I’m so sorry; prayer that she makes it through

* My Bellatrix did this as a tiny kitten. She was in ICU for five or six days, it was so hard. I hope your baby is okay. *

🙏 that your baby makes it through her perilous journey. I lost my baby Monday.

Wishing Lily good health and strength!

This is so upsetting to read. I really hope and believe she will make it🥹💖💖💖
