My kitten accidentally sniffed tiger Lilly flowers a few hours ago but is showing no symptoms. Do I need to be concerned?

Tiger lilies are indeed toxic to cats, and even a small exposure can lead to serious health issues. It's reassuring that your kitten isn't showing any symptoms at the moment, but it's crucial to keep a close eye on them for any signs of distress. Symptoms of lily toxicity can include vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, and changes in urination patterns. These symptoms might not appear right away, so it's important to monitor your kitten closely over the next 24 to 48 hours.

In the meantime, please ensure that your kitten no longer has access to the lilies and thoroughly clean any areas where they might have come into contact with the plant. If you observe any symptoms or changes in behavior, it's vital to seek veterinary care immediately, as lily toxicity can lead to kidney failure if not addressed promptly.

If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you.
