If you think your pet has ingested a toxic plant, it may be a medical emergency. Please call an RSPCA veterinary hospital or your local veterinarian immediately.
Lily toxicity is particularly dangerous for cats. Despite the best treatment from veterinarians, it causes many cats to die.
Asian, Day, Easter, Glory, Japanese Show, Peace, Red, Rubrum, Stargazer, Tiger and Wood lilies are all toxic to cats.
Even ingesting the smallest part of any of the lily plant may cause intoxication and death. Signs of ingestion and poisoning include depression, lethargy and vomiting. If untreated, acute kidney or renal failure may occur.
If you suspect that your cat may have ingested part of a lily and is showing signs of lily toxicity, please visit an animal emergency hospital or your local veterinarian immediately.
