Hello there! I'm sorry to hear your cat has had a nibble on a lily leaf. Lilies are quite beautiful, but unfortunately, they can be very dangerous for cats. Even a small amount of any part of the plant—leaves, petals, pollen—can lead to serious issues, particularly kidney failure.
Symptoms to watch for include vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and increased urination, which can progress to decreased urination as kidney function worsens. These signs can appear within a few hours of ingestion.
For now, it’s essential to monitor your cat closely. If you see any symptoms, bring them in for veterinary care as soon as possible. In the meantime, ensure your cat stays well-hydrated with plenty of fresh water available. It's a good idea to remove any remaining lilies from your home to prevent further accidental ingestion.
Keep a watchful eye, and remember, immediate veterinary attention is vital if symptoms arise. Cats are masters at hiding discomfort, so err on the side of caution.
It’s always best to consult directly with a veterinarian in situations like these. I encourage you to book a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet for personalized guidance. Stay calm, and we’ll guide you through this together.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
