Update for me disappearing again + WARNING FOR CAT OWNERS
I've been taking an agronomy class in college. One plant I'm growing is a black charm Lilium. Mother wanted to get one, so I gave her one. She took it to work, but the wind tore off the leaves, and it was deficient in light. She decided to bring it to the house.
Now heed my warning.
All lilies are EXTREMELY toxic to cats and will often end in death within the next week if no treatment is given. EVERYTHING is toxic. The pollen, the stem, the petals, the leaves, the water, even the scent. Any small amount of lili is a disaster. Fatal kidney failure will happen within 3 three days.
Well, our cat ate a leaf. 4 days ago. Yesterday, she began drinking water on her own after refusing to eat and drink for 3 days. She was throwing up as well. I was taking this as a good sign she was getting better. But today is Day 4
Sadly... I don't think she's getting better. I think she's actually getting worse. She's getting up and moving, but when she jumps down off the towel rack or the couch, she immediately lays down. Her drinking was a good sign at first, but excessive drinking is a sign of kidney failure. She hasn't eaten in 4 days, and we can't even force her to eat. Mother gave her cranberry mixed with water, but I don't think it'll help
I would bring up the idea of euthanasia to mother, but 1) she'd probably accuse me of giving up and not caring. 2) it's what, a hundred dollars? She says with our bills, we can't pay anything extra. Even if the care it would take her was only a thousand, "that's a thousand dollars we don't have."
She doesn't even meow anymore like she did all the time. She always hated being picked up. Now she doesn't make a sound except for sad purring
If she makes it, it'll be a miracle. But I don't think this is going to be
