An amazing story, isn't it. I too hope she makes a full recovery.

Household chemicals, especially stuff with phenol (in Lysol and antibacterial soaps). I think phenol is toxic to birds and cats. And teflon cookware: Quote: Birds are susceptible to a respiratory condition called "teflon toxicity" or "PTFE poisoning/toxicosis." Deaths can result from this...
