My dog ate a toad and is throwing up white foam. Is it poisonous?

Question

Samson had a large wood house toad in his mouth. Now he is throwing up white foam. Is that kind of toad poisonous to dogs? What should I do? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 8 days old | 28 lbs

Lauren Kennedy, DVM · Accepted Answer

Some toads are poisonious/noxious to dogs. Typically they cause an acute reaction of excessive drooling and foaming at the mouth. This usually resolves within 30-60 minutes. If after this amount of time Samson is still acting abnormal you may want to take him in to the vet to be checked out.
