Hi there.
Honestly it depends on the kind of frog or toad that Duchess got ahold of. toads/frogs release mucous through their skin which always tastes bad and can be irritating to the oral mucosa (lining if the mouth) of our pets.
If you are unsure of the type I really urge you to take her in to your emergency vet immediately-they can begin the decontamination process which can help subside toxic effects at least partially.
