Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted here.
Yesterday morning I woke up and found my sweet kitty Noodles with yellow stains all over his face, ears, paws, and some on his back. After looking around the house, I found the unfortunate culprit - a vase of flowers on the mantle that a family member brought in the house containing lilies. The yellow stains were pollen. I immediately called my SO who called the emergency vet and we loaded him up and rushed him there.
It’s been a really difficult and stressful 24 hours. As of right now, he’s doing okay and is showing no signs of illness and his blood work is looking okay (potassium and BUN are slightly low according to the vet but she said she’s not concerned and that this is likely from the IV fluids).
She says they will usually start showing symptoms by 48 hours and it would show in the bloodwork by then as well, so he is staying through tonight. I’m hoping we got him to the vet quick enough and that he will make a full recover. I miss my little guy so much and just want him back home.
Please keep Noodles in your thoughts today and tomorrow!

Now at least everyone in the house knows. Even breathing in the pollen released from the plant (and not actually chewing on the plant) is so dangerous to cats. My sister brought one home a month ago and I had to put it out in the garage until she got home from work to throw it away or keep it outside. Scary how toxic lilies are. Hope your baby will be ok.
