Nemophila is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to North America. Some species of Nemophila are known to be toxic to cats, and ingestion of these plants can cause a variety of clinical signs, including vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and salivation. In severe cases, Nemophila poisoning can lead to liver and kidney damage, and even death.
If you believe that your cat has eaten Nemophila, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. Treatment for Nemophila poisoning will depend on the severity of the clinical signs, and may include supportive care, such as intravenous fluids and antiemetics, as well as specific antidotes, such as activated charcoal or N-acetylcysteine.
