Is it dangerous for puppy to chew on a dead frog?

Answer 1

Depends on what kind. My dog killed a frog and then foamed at the mouth and kept drinking water for an hour. Then he was alright. I wouldn't just let a dog at a frog though.

There are certain species of both frogs and toads that can be toxic and even deathly. If your dog starts foaming at the mouth, immediately get your dog to a hose and repeatedly rinse the dogs mouth for at least 5 minutes at least three times. The toxins that frogs and toads give off can be harmful to a dogs brain and internal organs. Keep watch of your dog. If it becomes disoriented and lethargic, immediately take it to a vet who can administer medication to counteract the toxins. If you dog stops foaming at the mouth and is not disoriented, keep watching for change in temperature and breathing issues. Make sure you wash your dogs face, neck and paws to ensure any toxin left on the body is removed as hours later your dog can once again lick itself and have another reaction.

Answer

Depends on where your dog is. In North America, he should be alright, there aren't any toxic frogs around. In South America it could be deadly. And there are some toads in North America that might be fatal, though it might just send them on a 'trip.'

Answer 3

Depends on what frog he ate. Some frogs are highly poisonous, and yes, it may kill or at the very least make your dog sick. However, most frogs (and toads) are not poisonous, or they don't produce enough to harm a large dog.

If you suspect it was a poisonous frog, try to see if you can catch a frog of the same species as it'll be easier to treat if the vet can identify what they're dealing with. Keep a close eye on your dog, and watch out for any discolored vomiting, allergic reactions, and general changes in behavior. Generally, if you don't notice anything within several hours, the dog's fine, but if you do notice anything, it's time for a vet trip.

Answer 4

It depends on the species of frog. Some frogs are poisonous (have poisonous mucus on their skin) and others are not.

Answer 5

Nothing much, depending on the frog it's not a big deal. If you're concerned call the vet for more information.
