Tip of the Month For
Your Pet's Health
With Easter upon us it is important for cat owners to realize the dangers of
lily toxicity. Examples of these plants are the
Easter Lily (Lilium longiflorum), Tiger Lily
( Lilium tigrinum),
Day Lily (Lilium hemerocallus), Asian lily (Lily
asiatic spp.) and Rubrum Lily
(Lilium rubrum). All
parts of the plant are toxic!! If enough toxin
is absorbed, acute kidney failure can develop
within 12 hours
to 4 days and prognosis
can be guarded to poor.
Signs include loss of appetite, depression, vomiting,
and lack of
urination. It is imperative to seek emergency
medical treatment as soon as possible
to ensure
proper treatment.
