Toads in Michigan are also not deadly to dogs. But, Sissy picked one up and had it in her mouth and got VERY sick from the secretions of the toad. My vet explained that their secretions contain poison designed to make an animal sick and while not deadly toxic, it can still cause serious harm to our little guys just because of their size. It is the vomiting and diarrhea and deydration that will take them down. So even if you live in an area where the toads are not deadly, the secretions will cause foaming at the mouth, vomiting and diarrhea. Be careful of these creatures no matter what!!
