Many frogs have a bitter toxin on their skin. When a dog touches it with their mouth, they foam trying to get the toxin off. Flush your dog's mouth copiously with water in an attempt to wash off the toxin. Sometimes, the toxin can absorb and cause other issues, like lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, dilated pupils, etc. If you see these symptoms in Brownie, she should see the vet as soon as possible.
