I'm sorry to hear about Pochay! I'm not familiar with the specific frogs in your area, but in my area frog ingestion usually causes mild GI upset (vomiting, diarrhea) and can sometimes cause neurological symptoms such as transient seizures. In both cases, we offer supportive care so it would be helpful to know what signs of illness you're seeing in Pochay that make you concerned she's been poisoned. If you're seeing mild GI upset, you can offer her bland food (white rice with cooked chicken breast) in small amounts until her symptoms subside, and encourage lots of fluids by adding extra water to her rice/chicken. Fluids will help flush irritating toxins from her body. If you're seeing neurological symptoms, she should be seen by a vet, to provide fluid support until she's feeling normal enough to eat
