Ohmygosh, I couldn't have waited around for the nausea and vomiting - I'd have had Tibbe at the ER vet immediately and probably thought he'd go into cardiac arrest on the way as the websites usually say the toxin can cause heart arrhythmia and even be lethal if not treated immediately. I'm such a wuss about toxins and things like that I would have panicked when I saw that mucus around or near her mouth and oral mucous membranes and not waited for symptoms! Of course, I make more than one useless visit to the vet yearly due to that overly cautious attitude! Whew! What a close call you had with her. Poor Cookie - I'll bet she was really nauseated and sick. Thank goodness you got her in when you did! It could have gotten seriously bad in a hurry once that toxin entered her system and she began to be affected by the poison. I'm so glad you can be with her for the next 24 hours and watch her for any more symptoms. I'm praying there will be absolutely nothing and that sweet little Cookie fully recovers soon and suffers no ill effects and has no more brushes with those awful toads! Next one might be more toxic. I'll bet you won't ever allow her out alone or turn your back outside for one second after this. Cookie's sure a cutie!
