TOAD POISONING
Cane toads (Bufo toads) are prevalent here on Guam. It is likely that you or your pet will encounter one of these highly poisonous toads.
The toads have large and smaller chemical producing glands spread over their skin. The glands on the toad's shoulders are capable of oozing and even squirting venom. The venom causes symptoms
within 15 minutes and can be fatal to pets, but is also unsafe for humans.
One should be sure to keep close attention and leash-walk all pets, especially when it is dark or raining. If your pet does encounter a toad, one should remove all pieces of the toad from the mouth of the pet and flush the mouth with water (remember to wash your hands). Be sure not to just let the pet drink the water as we do not want the pet to swallow more poison.
Some signs and symptoms of toad poisoning can include: excessive salivation, retching/vomiting, blueness of the mouth, drunken behavior, seizures and your pet may collapse. Time is of essence, so be sure to contact veterinary personnel and proceed to the nearest vet clinic immediately.
