Call your veterinarian immediately.
Bacopa is a type of plant that is toxic to cats. The toxic principle in bacopa is a glycoside called saponin. Saponins can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weakness in cats. In severe cases, saponin poisoning can lead to kidney failure and death.
The severity of bacopa poisoning in cats depends on the amount of the plant that was ingested. If your cat only ate a small amount of bacopa, it may only experience mild symptoms. However, if your cat ate a large amount of bacopa, it may be at risk for more serious health problems.
There is no specific antidote for bacopa poisoning. Treatment will focus on supportive care, such as providing fluids, electrolytes, and anti-vomiting medication. In severe cases, your cat may need to be hospitalized for treatment.
If you think your cat has eaten bacopa, it is important to call your veterinarian immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to improve your cat’s chances of a full recovery.
