It’s possible that your dog’s behavior change is related to his encounter with lilies. While lilies are particularly toxic to cats, dogs can still experience mild effects from exposure.
- Observe your dog for any symptoms of discomfort.
- Be aware that lilies are far less toxic to dogs than to cats, but still may cause mild issues.
- Consider contacting a vet if unusual behaviors continue.
Your dog’s symptoms might be due to irritation from lilies. Dogs are generally not severely affected by lilies in the same way cats are, but some can still experience mild gastrointestinal upset or a lack of energy. Keep an eye on your dog’s behavior and seek veterinary advice if symptoms worsen or persist.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
