I just moved down here 2months ago from pittsburgh,pa. My 4 year old miniature weiner dog bit a poisoneous toad for literally half a second. We instantly googled what to do. It said to rinse their mouth out w water and don't let them swallow the water. We rushed her to the emergency vet because she kept shaking her head like she bit something nasty. She threw up in the parking lot. The vet and the front desk girl were very nice and kept us updated the whole time we were there. She ssid we were very lucky. Apparently this happens a lot down here , and if the dog eats the toad it can be deathly. So please please please be careful taking your dog out at night. Use a flash light and keep your eye on them the whole time they're outside. Our bill was only $150. To me it was money well spent knowing that our baby girl was going to be ok and nothing was going to get worse.
