Lily Question!

[Sheryl]

In a panic. I cut all the stamens off the lillies I had in a vase but the bag must have fallen out of the bin. I just found Lyla with her nose in it. It was seconds but I took it off her, washed round her nose where the staining was and opened her mouth but there was no sign of pollen in her mouth from the flower. I'm unsure whether to call the vet or not. Can anyone tell me if they would do more?

Sorry, not sure about dogs, but know they are posionous to cats
I wouldn't be overly concerned as it doesn't appear that she's eaten any and just watch out for any symptoms as upset tum or sickness
If you know what type of lily it was that may help in looking up if it's posionous to dogs as it would appear if depends on what type
Hope she's ok

Do you think she ate one? Lily's are very toxic to all animals. I would ring the vet and see what they have to say. I think she would show gastro signs as well as affecting other organ systems if she'd gotten enough. I think she would have had to have gobbled a decent amount though, and it doesn't sound like she did. I'd ring the vet to be doubly safe and for peace of mind.

Not all lilies are toxic to all animals and apparently dogs have to consume a large amount for mild gastrointestinal symptoms to occur - it also depends on the variety of lily for severity of symptoms. I'd still check with the vet though for peace of mind.
