Dog, possible double toad tasting within 48 h

Appreciate the question — let's unpack this. If your dog has potentially interacted with a toad, it's understandable to be worried. Toads can secrete toxins that are irritating and sometimes harmful to dogs. Symptoms of toad exposure can include drooling, pawing at the mouth, frothing, vomiting, and tremors.



If your dog is still exhibiting symptoms like drooling or mild irritation, you can rinse their mouth out thoroughly with water, ensuring you hold their head down so they don’t swallow any excess water. Watch them closely, and offer plenty of fresh water to flush out any remaining toxins.



Keep an eye out for more severe signs like persistent vomiting, difficulty breathing, or seizures, as these could indicate a more serious poisoning. Such symptoms require immediate veterinary attention.



Since your dog has possibly encountered a toad more than once in a short time, it's important to monitor them closely for any changes in behavior or health. Given the potential risks, I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our vets at Dial A Vet to ensure your pup remains safe and healthy.
