Hang on Ferdinand! (Lily warning awarness!)

[batan]

And.... Ferdinand is home!

He was discharged quite early and is doing well. He ate...quite a bit actually, and peed already which is not surprising being on fluids for 40 hours. He's acting normal, no signs of anything other then a little shaved area on his paw and on one side of his neck.
I will take him tomorrow to family vet for another blood test.

I asked the vet if some cats might be more resistant to lilies and she said that what IS possible is that sometimes they pass what they eat w/o absorbing it so it does not affect them as much.
In Ferdinand's case, we were a quick as we could be so that probably had something to do with it.


He's some pictures after we got home...much needed petting:

And a coupe of him just settling down on his chair...

you can see his IV shaved area...he actually took his bandage off on his own LOL

Yay your baby boy is home!

I love that last pic with his tongue sticking out

Well, yesterday we took him to the his vet and got the blood/urine work done. That was the last thing to do with him being off fluids and at home for a day and a half.
I got the call back today at noon and... his bloodwork is CLEAN!

Glad to hear he's doing okay, I have heard of a few cats who haven't been so lucky.

It's the pollen that is the highly poisonous bit I think? I've heard of a cat getting some pollen on him and licking it off and within a couple of hours he had died.

I'm not saying the rest of the plants are poisonous but I do know that the pollen is particularily deadly.

Ferdinand chewed on some leaves. And all the info I read does not categorize parts for lilies but states that every part is a dangerous.

I wish I would have seen the site that says what plants or toxic to cats it says babys breath and my cat ate it one time and it also says tomato stems and she loves playing with then so I took them away now tho she doesn't eat them I don't want to have to worry about it.

I am glad that he is doing and didn't get sick

So, your cat is ok after eating those?
