Yep, Tyson kissed a toad last summer. He started shaking his head and foaming at the mouth too. I freaked and called the vet because I really thought he was poisoned. The vet just chuckled and told me to rinse his mouth out, and also to keep an eye on him for lethargy and upset tummy. Tyson (5lbs) didn't feel well all day and definitely had an upset tummy, as he vomited a couple of times that day. The vet did say "we do not have poisonous cane toads in North Florida" so he should be fine.
Needless to say, Tyson is a quick learner.....he does not try to kiss toads anymore! |
