My dog ate a toad, symptoms stopped. Is she safe? Should I call vet?

Question

My dog caught a toad and since then she has been heaving and shaking, but she has currently stopped. Should I still contact my vet? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 15 lbs

Rinse her mouth with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, disorientation, difficulty breathing or swelling in/around the mouth. Seek veterinary attention if you see any of these symptoms. Garden toads aren't as dangerous/toxic as Marine toads (found in Florida), but can still cause foaming at the mouth, drooling and oral irritation.
