Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila menziesii) is considered toxic to dogs due to the presence of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

If you suspect your dog has eaten Baby Blue Eyes, take the following steps immediately:

  1. Call your veterinarian or the nearest animal poison control center immediately. They will provide instructions on what to do next.

  2. Induce vomiting if directed by your veterinarian. Give your dog hydrogen peroxide solution (3%) at a dose of 1 teaspoon per 5 pounds of body weight. Do not induce vomiting if your dog is unconscious or having seizures.

  3. Bring your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Take a sample of the plant with you to help them identify it.

Symptoms of Baby Blue Eyes toxicity in dogs can include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Loss of appetite
  • Lethargy
  • Weakness
  • Abdominal pain
  • Jaundice
  • Liver failure
  • Kidney failure

Treatment for Baby Blue Eyes toxicity in dogs may include:

  • Intravenous fluids to prevent dehydration
  • Activated charcoal to absorb the toxins
  • Liver protectants
  • Anticonvulsants
  • In severe cases, blood transfusions or liver transplantation

The prognosis for dogs who have ingested Baby Blue Eyes depends on the amount of plant ingested, the time elapsed since ingestion, and the severity of the symptoms.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for improving the chances of survival.
