Thank you for submitting your question regarding Diamond. Certain types of toads can be very poisonous to dogs. I would recommend that he sees an emergency veterinarian as he is acting sick already. Being a young puppy, he will be more susceptible in the case of a toxin ingestion. I hope this information helps!
