Are extremely toxic, even deadly to cats. In case you didn't know, which I did not.
My Stella is currently at the ER vet clinic due to potential exposure. My boyfriend found a lily pod on the floor (I had them high in a vase on a dresser) around lunchtime yesterday. it wasn't torn or chewed when I fished it out of the trash bin last night, but was still in a room where she frequents. I rushed her to the ER around 8:30 last night.
She's been receiving fluids, blood work, chemistry profiling...the whole nine yards. No sign of illness, no vomiting, diarrhea, still has her appetite and was very alert when I went to see her this morning before work.
The vet recommended they keep her for 48 hours as a precaution. My only issue is...money. It's $930 for 12 hours. My boyfriend was kind enough to put the charge on his credit card, because I do not have that kind of money. $930 x 4...easy to do the math there. I spoke with the vet this morning over the phone and she told me I had enough credit to keep Stella there until the morning and we would not be billed anything beyond that.
So that would mean she would be there for 36 hours.
Opinions are needed. If after 36 hours and her her blood and kidney levels are fine, and she's still acting like her perky self, could I get by with taking her home and monitoring her myself? Maybe bringing her to another vet if I notice anything?
