Frogs/Toads harmfull?

[ben1191 9]

Keep finding dead frogs/toads in the garden where the dogs are finding them obviously.Just wondered if we get any harmfull ones over here ?

My terriers are the same mate, i've got a young bitch here that always seems to find one, apart from the foaming mouth theres been no harm done.

not all dogs get bad of them but some do my mates dog dyed after eating a toad but i know others that have just had foamy mouth. so i try to keep mine away when ever possible.

yeah they usually tear it in half and then leave it lol.but he ate the legs off 1 just now and hes mouth foamed up.Hes pretty resilliant,never had to take him to the vets for any injuries or illnesses.

 

Edit: i think its just frogs theyre finding.

toads can be but frogs are not,i think?

toads have poison glads behind there eye's you can see them they look like brown lumps but frogs dont.Frogs tend to release what you could call piss if you pick one up it will probably piss on your hands thats what could make the dog foam at the mouth but its not poisonous just foul tasting it helps to deter grasssnake/adders and some bird that may eat them oh yer and dogs
