... 'cuz some lilies may use up a chunk of that money...
I didn't know lilies were toxic to cats.
I put some on the table -- the next day the Queen yaked... she isn't a yacker.
A quick google search on "flowers poisonous to cats" came up with a strongly worded warning about lilies -- and we were off to the emergency vet for some blood work and IV fluids.
That was Sunday -- and a bunch of money -- it seems that even a small amount of contact can start kidney failure in cats.
We got her out of the emergency vet this morning and took her to our regular vet.
He did more blood work today and one of her kidney numbers was a concern... so, more fluids and another test tomorrow.
The really sweet thing is that the vet is taking her home with him tonight to do more fluids -- as 48 hours of increased fluids seems to be the key.
I don't even want to know how much 'goes home with the vet' costs -- really....
I just want her home. The Minion misses her and the house is way, way, way too quiet without her interaction/disapproval..

I hope she's okay.
The vet said that she was doing fine and that the toxicity problem mostly happens when owners wait a few days -- because the usual result is kidney failure.
It's really quiet around here without her... but, hopefully by this time tomorrow she'll be home and punishing us.
That sounds good :) Glad you got her in to the vet's office quickly!
I'm glad she's going to be okay. The minion didn't even take a bite huh? Good thing.
I don't know for sure that he didn't get any, but he's acting fine.. She was the one nosing around them... I don't think she actually ate any, but they are so toxic that just the pollen can hurt her.
