YT Addict | frogs Abby just killed a frog on the back porch. When I went to check on her she was throwing it around. I don't know if she bit into it or not. Is she going to get sick? |

| I know some frogs are poisonous though I am not sure which ones. I would call my vet to see what symptoms to watch for at the least. I hope she is ok.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I agree call your vet and describe the frog and see if they can tell you if Abby needs to be seen. I hope it is a harmless kind.

YT Addict | Oh never mind. It is just Abby's mom freaking out again. I got the vet on the phone and she asked me to go to the frog for more details. Well when I did the frog was hard as a rock so the poor fellow had been gone for a while. The doctor did say she would have a reaction almost immediately if this had been a real emergency. But they are open for another hour and I am 5 minutes away if I feel I should take her in, but the vet said Abby or someone else had gotten the frog and I would definately have seen symptoms already |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Glad to hear! It's easy to panic but always better to be overprotective than not.

| I am glad everything is ok... I was thinking I had read the reaction is immediate, but I didn't want to post that if it wasn't correct. These little guys keep us on our toes

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The thing of it is, what might not harm a 40 pound dog, can be deadly to these little guys, so we do have to be rather diligent, but it's worth it!

| When Ziva got a frog last year she was foaming at the mouth within seconds- before we could even figure out what she had. If she had had a very bad reaction I don't think we would have gotten her to the vet on time.I keep all the leaves and corners well swept now! |

| Bufo frogs are very poisonous..and they react very quickly...the poison is absorbed through the gums. I have know pet owners who lost their pets from bufo's... I have an indoor atruim and have to make sure all plants are insect and frog free when I bring them in...had a frog jump out when I went in there one say to water...but I caught him. |

| My boys get frogs and toads often.... they are not poisonous here though. I know they foam at the mouth and shake their heads when they 'try' the frogs since they must taste terrible. Hope your baby is ok!
