My dog licked a toad and is vomiting blood. What should I do now?

Without knowing the type of toad licked, it would be hard to say. If she is showing signs of toxicity such as vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, confusion, etc, it would be best to seek emergency care right away.

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!

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.

Please contact ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center Phone Number: (888) 426-4435 ASAP. There is a fee for this service, but they can help determine approriate treatment. If you need to take Branch to an emergency vet Poison control will help the veterinarians there formulate a treatment. If you do not want to all poison control, please go to your local animal emergency clinic immediately. Good luck

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Xander! I am so sorry Xander is so ill from ingesting a toxic toad. There is no antidote for these toads. Once they ingest the toxin it is just supportive care until the toxin is out of the system. In some cases the toads are deadly. I suggest Xander be hospitalized if he is not improving and it has been 8 days. He should be in IV fluids and his seizures need to be controlled with medications. The toxin can cause electrolyte abnormalities that can cause heart arrhythmias and they can be in a lot of pain. I hope this helps and I wish Xander the very best!

If the toad was toxic, you’d see symptoms such as head shaking, severe drooling, and pawing at the mouth and eyes almost immediately. Because it’s been 10 minutes since Max picked up the toad, I would suspect it’s not poisonous. I would not rush him into the ER vet, but keep an eye on him to be safe. If you do see the signs I listed, then take him to the vet right away. Hopefully, he should be fine. I hope this helps, best of luck!

Poor Coki! I would be worried too, as having blood in the vomit can have very serious causes including GI ulcers, eating something toxic, GI tumors, bacterial or viral infection, a foreign body, or clotting disorders among others. I would have Coki seen by a vet right away for a physical exam, blood tests, urinalysis, and possibly x-rays. Once the cause of the vomiting and blood is diagnosed, the vet can start treatment.
