Ask the Vet Dr. Beth Keser, Director of Medical Services What you need to know to keep your pets safe from Bufo Toads If you live in South Florida, you have likely seen the marine toad, Bufo marinus, also known as the giant toad or cane toad. These are very large brownishgrayish colored toads with a yellow belly. They have deeply-pitted parotid glands that extend all the way down their back. These toads can get as big as 6-9 inches or even larger. When confronted by a predator, they are able to shoot bufo toxin from the parotid glands (located on the back) in the form of white viscous venom. This venom is highly toxic to dogs, cats and other animals, and it can also cause skin irritations in humans. Symptoms: • Foamy salivation (may resemble shaving cream) • Difficulty breathing • Brick red gums • Convulsions • Paralysis • Ventricular Fibrillation • Vomiting • Uncoordinated staggering Treatment: • Immediately rinse out your pet’s mouth with a super wet wash cloth. Repeat this several times to remove any toxins from the mouth. ***DO NOT USE A HOSE TO RINSE OUT THE MOUTH (Water can easily enter the lungs causing more problems.) • Proceed to the nearest veterinary hospital or emergency clinic as time is of the essence. • The smaller the pet or the bigger the toad, the greater the risk of toxicity. Prevention: • Keep your dog on a leash and wellsupervised. • Avoid attracting the toads to areas where pets congregate. • Do not leave pet food in open dishes outside. Toads can sit in water bowls long enough to leave toxins to make your pet ill. PeggyAdams.org 9
