๐ธโ ๏ธ TOAD POISONING IN DOGS โ EVERY PET OWNER NEEDS TO KNOW THIS โ ๏ธ๐ธ
โ
โIf your dog spends any time outdoors, please read this. Toad poisoning is a real and fast-moving emergency that can turn fatal within minutes.
โ
โThe most dangerous culprits here in the Philippines:
โ๐ด Asian Common Toad / Black-spined Toad (Duttaphrynus melanostictus) โ ang pinakakaraniwang "palaka" sa ating mga bakuran, lalo na pagkatapos ng ulan
โ๐ Asian Giant Toad / Rough Toad (Phrynoidis asper) โ mas malaki, matatagpuan sa mga lugar na malapit sa tubig, bundok, at kagubatan.
โ
โWhat happens: Toads secrete a toxic milky substance from their skin. When a dog licks, mouths, or picks up a toad, the toxin absorbs rapidly through the gums.
โSigns to watch for:
โโข Excessive drooling or foaming at the mouth
โโข Pawing at the face
โโข Bright red gums
โโข Vomiting
โโข Disorientation or stumbling
โโข Seizures
โโข Collapse
โ
โWhat to do IMMEDIATELY:
โWipe the gums and tongue with a damp cloth โ don't let your dog swallow the rinse water
โFlush the mouth with running water for 10 minutes (aim water outward)
โRush to your nearest vet or emergency animal clinic RIGHT AWAY!
โโฑ๏ธ Time is critical. Don't wait to see if symptoms improve.
