| Bufo Frogs I live in Florida and I saw a lady today who just lost her 11 month old shizu because it got a Bufo frog in his mouth. Just in case you don't know, Bufo frogs have glands that when expressed put poison in the dogs mouth. If you think this has happened you have to rinse your dog's mouth out and get them to a vet ASAP!! The lady i talked to didn't know what was wrong with her dog he just was vomiting so she thought he just had an upset stomach but things got worse fast. She had waited overnight to take him into the vet. So... i don't know where there are Bufo Frogs but if you have them around you BE CAREFUL!!! |

| I'm in NE Fl. I don't know if this was the kind of frog Chloe got or not but she got some type of frog and after $500plus ER visit, she recovered. It was an awful experience and happened so fast I couldn't believe it. |
