Did my moms cat stand a chance at survival? He was 16 weeks old, 3.5lbs, and he had easter lily poisoning.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's kitten. Easter lilies are indeed very toxic to cats, and even small amounts can be extremely dangerous. Cats are particularly sensitive to the compounds in lilies, which can lead to severe kidney damage, and unfortunately, sometimes the situation becomes critical very quickly.

In a kitten as young and small as yours, the risk is even greater because their bodies are less able to handle the toxins. Immediate veterinary care is crucial in such cases, ideally within 6-12 hours of ingestion, including treatments like intravenous fluids, activated charcoal, and sometimes medication to prevent absorption of the toxins.

At home, immediate actions include removing any plant material and encouraging drinking, but professional treatment is paramount for any chance of recovery. If hospitalization wasn't an option in this case, the kitten’s chances of survival would be slim, especially without early veterinary intervention.

Keep an eye out for signs like vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and changes in urination, as these can indicate serious kidney issues. If you notice any similar symptoms in the future, please seek veterinary help as soon as possible.

I recommend scheduling a video consult with Dial A Vet for more personalized guidance and to discuss prevention strategies so your pets stay healthy and safe.
