With Easter just around the corner, please remember that chocolate is toxic to dogs 🐶❌🍫 Keep your Easter eggs stashed away from your four-legged friends 💛

March is ☠️🐾

⚠️Don't forget to keep lilies away from cats this Mother's Day in the UK

🌺Lilies are nephrotoxic to cats, meaning they are toxic to the kidneys, causing kidney damage and failure

🌺ALL PARTS OF THE LILY ARE POISONOUS TO CATS, including the pollen, which they can easily get on their coat and then just lick off

🐈Cats can be successfully treated for ingesting lillies, but only if they are treated early

Common signs of lily toxicity include:

😿Yellow or orange pollen staining on the coat (especially the face and paws)
😿Vomiting
😿Lethargy
😿Anorexia (not eating)
😿Dehydration (skin tenting, sunken eyes, dry gums, reduced urine output )
😿Painful, swollen kidneys
😿Avoiding human contact and hiding

Less common signs:

😿Ataxia (wobbly when walking)
😿Seizures
😿Head pressing
😿Swollen paws/face

⚠️If you suspect your cat had ingested ANY part of a lily plant you must seek veterinary attention immediately

🐈Cats suffering from lily poisoning will likely need to be hospitalised for decontamination, intravenous fluid therapy, anti-sickness medication, nutritional support and intensive nursing care. They will also require blood tests to assess kidney function

⚠️Because lilies are so toxic it's best to not kept them in the household with cats, even if the lilies are a gift. Lilies can be removed from and flower bouquets or given to someone who doesn't have any cats. Most supermarkets and florists supply lily free bouquets now too 👍
