Bufo toad dangerous to pets

A local family is mourning the loss of their pet dog thought to be caused by the bufo toad.

Why are there so many ignorant children in the comment section? Everyone is getting angry that the toad killed the dog but the toad was just defending himself. Like what exactly would you do if some huge predator came towards you and tried eating you? The dog was a predator and the toad was the prey, the toad defended himself and the dog died. Simple as that.

I have a pet bufo toad.. They may be VERY dangerous.. But they're still so cute to me. That's just my opinion.

''Bufo toad'' do these people even do research before making a report?

I had a wolf husky pup who once grabbed one of these in my back yard. She immediately started to salvatate like dish soap suds out of her mouth. I didn't know toads were poisonous. so I rushed her to the vet. she seemed to be fine by the time I got there.

The vet informed me the danger of these toads. He said she was lucky to be a large dog and old enough to handle the toxin. she was 1 year old at the time.
Prevention for the future if she ever tried to catch one again.
Use a garden hose as close to the back teeth as possible and spray the water forward out of the mouth.
never spray water twards their throat. As you may cause them to swallow more toxin or drown from water into the lungs.

This toxin secrete from the cheek area of the toad. If you have a small dog or cat? It will most likely die if you can't wash out the toxin in time.

In my area Southern Canada these toads are mostly out at night or early morning in damp or shade areas. Not in water though, like frogs. if you handle one of these and you see a milky substance from the cheeks. Please wash your hand before handling any pets.
Some humans are very allergic to these toads also. Colours may vary. However in my area they are usually brown. Tall grass in shade areas are very common.

You gotta stick a hose in its mouth to rinse it out and to make it throw up. happened to my golden retreiver twice. she learned not to mess with them anymore. dont lose time taking it to the vet, immediately shove a hose in its mouth, make it throw up a couple times. it will stop foaming and feel better right away.

What would you do if a giant monster tried to chew on you, you would probley do the same as the toad,

They kind of have the info wrong, there is no such toad as a "Bufo Toad" it's most likely an American toad simply because most toads have Bufotoxin, not just the American Toad

[drawingwithmaxine]

so toads scientific names start with bufo so that can't be the name of that toad isn't it a cane toad? also they're not very good toads they kill lots of thing ( intentionally or accidentally) so if you see one capture it and report it I love toads but be careful some are dangerous!

1:34 Your editing clipped off the beginning of the word "Rinse", the hugely important word in this video!

Was that Rhinella marina or Anaxyrus americanus?

Bufo toad literally means toad toad. Also the common toad is also known as bufo bufo, so they should do more research.

[robertpek]

like if you are here because of the DMT :D

[matthewrousseau]

Was this Florida? They should e more specific. There are hundreds of types of bufo toads. I fact bufo means toad . Only a couple are da gerous

We just lost our Baxter to this toad this morning. he was a westie too. I can't believe it.

[afherping]

The toads aren’t dangerous the do was trying to eat it if the toad ins not put in your mouth it’s harmless unlike dogs that kill 25, 000 people every year

just lost my dog last night to one.. he was a jack Russell. e was dead within minutes.

[readphelps]

The best thing to do is wash out the dogs mouth and the morce ur dog to drink milk then take it to the vet

Almost lost our 6lb dog yesterday morning to one. Rinsed her mouth out but she was still affected horribly. Luckily got her to the vet in time and they were able to save her.

They are the reason why I keep a 7-Iron near my back door. I practice my golf swing when I see one in my yard.
