Poor Brito, if she is unable to eat and drink she may need to be hospitalised for fluids and supportive feeding until her mouth recovers. I recommend you contact your nearest vet if she is becoming weak as a result of dehydration

My dog bit a frog and is licking her mouth. Is it toxic or dangerous?

Certain toads (Marine Toad or Colorado River Toad) can be toxic if bitten of ingested. You should rinse Ash's mouth out with cool water for at least 15 minutes. Monitor for excessive drooling, redness or swelling in and around her mouth, increased heart rate or ataxia (wobbly gait). Frogs are less toxic than toads and may cause nothing more serious than some drooling and minor stomach upset.

My dog bit a frog, then I gave her garlic. What should I do now?

There are frogs that are toxic to dogs, but most just cause drooling because of the taste of their skin. The garlic however, is very toxic to dogs. I recommend giving Lucie 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and run her around outside to induce vomiting. If that doesn't work, I would take her to a vet right away to check her blood and give her medications to prevent absorption of the garlic. Good luck and kisses to Lucie!

Dog bit, can't drink, mouth foaming. When should I call the vet?

Your poor pup! It sounds like he was quite injured from the bite if he is unable to drink water, can only eat slowly, and having some froth in the mouth. I would consider this a medical emergency and he needs to see a vet now. Please take him into one immediately.

My small dog ate a frog and is drooling and shaking. What should I do?

Rinse her mouth with cool running water for at least 15 minutes. Keep her head tilted downward to prevent aspiration of water. It is likely there is not enough toxin to cause serious toxicity. Monitor for weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing, disorientation or seizures. Treatment is largely symptomatic. See your veterinarian if Shirley develops any of these symptoms.

My dog has a mouth infection, won't eat, and is lethargic. Help!

Your dog needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. He could have an infected tooth/teeth and need extractions and a dental cleaning as soon as possible. Infected gums and teeth can introduce bacteria into the bloodstream that can adversely affect your dog's heart. This problem needs to be addressed now.

Why is my dog foaming after chasing a frog and acting so lazy?

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.
