My cat ate lily pollen days ago. No symptoms, is he okay now?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Hi, My 5 month old cat ate Lily pollen (to the extent that he had yellow all over him), this was two- three days ago. And i’ve only just found out that it’s highly poisonous to cats. It’s too late at night to take him to a vet. He hasn’t shown any symptoms of vomit and no diarrhoea, I haven’t noticed any changes in him the past few days. Is it safe to say that he’s okay?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Frankie. I still recommend having him evaluated by his veterinarian. It would be a good idea to have blood work performed to ensure that he has not sustained any kidney damage. Most of the time, damage to the kidneys occurs by 72 hours after the exposure. I hope this information helps!
