Thread: lillies

So sorry about your cat hope the news is good today.I know a lot of flowers can cause illness of various degrees but in 38 years of working at a vets have never known a cat to ingest enough to kill them,vomiting & chronic diarrhoea yes.Some flowers it can be the bulb part that is most dangerous such as daffs,I have known us to loose a dog that had eaten several that the owner had dug up to replant, the flowers can cause tummy upsets as well,with lillies I think it is the tiger lily which is the worse for cats but any lily is barred from our house as one cat is asthmatic & if they are in the house for only a couple of minutes then she has bad breathing problems.
I haven't banned all flowers from the house as I love them too much but they are put on a fairly wide shelf out of cats way & also when petals start to drop they go on shelf rather than floor.
Do hope to see a good posting from you soon.
