We have two female Yorkies that are our furbabies! Yesterday morning , early my hubby put them out in our fenced yard. He let them in and our 9 year old girl was foaming from the mouth and literally could not stand up. Her body started to droop and I knew what i was as I had a friend with a Yorkie that had the same thing happen. I yelled we have to get to the emergency vet NOW!My hubby rinsed her mouth and foam and I wrapped her in a large bath towel. I laid her on the counter while putting on my clothes and she started having seizures. I drove as I knew I would break speed limits to get to the vet. They took her immediately and started an IV and administered Diazepam. They stabilized her and we then took her to our vet and they administered more IV and Valium. They did a complete blood workup and diagnostic plus profile. All test were negative leaving her with no permanent damage. By 5 pm she was back to being our little girl. They did leave the IV in till this afternoon just to make sure she would not need it again.
We will NEVER put my babies out in the yard again at night nor the daytime without being with them. This encounter was so scary as I was sure she would die before we got her to emergency vet.
Please be careful, Bufo frogs are life threatening to our babies.
