**UPDATED AGAIN!!!!** LIW Prayers needed for my kitty

Our kitty Gus was admitted to the Pet ER last night because he bit into a lily and had the pollen all around his mouth and nose. He threw up 3 times before we even got him to the ER. Apparently lilies are EXTREMELY toxic and deadly to cats and just a little bit is enough to send them into acute kidney failure Pet Poison Control told them to check his blood levels (to check his kidney function) and just give him activated charcoal and continuous IV fluids and recheck his blood work in 48 hrs. He will have to be there a minimum of 2-3 days. FH feels terrible because he is the one that bought the flowers for me and they have been in the apartment for an entire week already and neither of us knew that lilies were so toxic to cats

PLUS now I'm freaking out because our cats share food bowls and I'm afraid that some of the pollen could have fallen off Gus into the food bowl and our other cat Lily (ironic, yes I know) might have ingested some too, but we don't have another $2,000 lying around to bring her in 'just in case'....

So, any and all LIW prayers are appreciated for my kitties!




**UPDATE**- So far his 24 hr blood levels came back good, even better than his baseline ones last night....they will run them again tomorrow afternoon and if his kidney function is showing it is staying stable he can come home Monday!!!

Keep those prayers comin' girls!!!



**********UPDATE #2****************- His 48 hr blood results came back great too! They are going to wean him off the IV fluids and meds and we can pick him up tomorrow (Monday) evening!!!! Sooo happy Gus and Lily won't be 100% out of the woods until about Friday (7 days after the initial ingestion), so this is going to be the longest week ever. I think I need another weekend to recover from this stressful one!

Thank for your prayers girls

Oh NO!!!!!! I will pray for your kitties. If some pollen fell into the food bowl, do you think that it will be enough to harm your other cat? I don't know too much about lillies but sometimes it's the quantity of the toxin that affects the animal. If she hasn't shown any problems then she's probably fine.

Everything Poison Control and the ER told me (and google) make it sound like just having a little around their mouth or something can be toxic. Lilies are one of the plants where they don't know the toxic dose

OMG - I love Kitties..... I wish there was something I could do for you - and I will send you all the prayers you need... please keep us updated

xoxoxoxo

Yes Gus is our orange kitty...with his extra thumbs and all


Thank girls!

Oh I hope they will be alright. They are so cute! I'm sure they will be fine because cats are such strong fighters. I just had to take my cat to the ER a few days ago because his anal sac ruptured. Now he is walking around with a hole on his behind. He's 16 and he's fighting the pain.

Me and all my kitties will pray for you.

prayers going out to your kitty


my mary jane has extra toes too.... I love her toes.

Sending prayers your way for your cute kitties.

thinking about you and your kitty!

my kitty brooklyn just came home today from a 2 day hospital stay! =(

he was urinating blood on the floor so i rushed him to the vet he had a bladder stone about the third the size of his bladder =(

we caught it just intime before it really blocked him up =\

he is home today sprawled out on my parents bed!

unfort it is something that happens a decent amount in male cats .. hopefully he likes his new diet

Praying for a quick recovery!!!!!


btw....I had no idea lillies were toxic to cats either!!!! I am so glad you posted this, I got two kitties myself and will make sure to keep lillies out of my house!

aww yayyy!!! i'm so glad to hear he is doing well!!! def will keep the prayers coming your wayy!!!!

I'm so glad your kitties are okay!!! I had no clue that lilies were toxic and had them in the house last week. Thankfully they were out of reach of the cats!
