CANE TOADS ARE OFTEN SEEN IN OUR YARDS - we are posting some information from RSPCA Qld about what to do if your pet is affected by touching/licking a cane toad. please see the full article at the end of our post too.

for people who have only just moved to the Gold Coast, if there are any concerns after hours, there are two emergency vets AES Carrara ph 5559 1599, and AEC Varsity Lakes ph 5593 4544.

"What To Do If Your Pet Eats Or Licks A Cane Toad
When a pet eats, licks or ‘mouths’ a cane toad, the toad releases the toxin into the stomach or more commonly into the mouth of the pet. The toxin is rapidly absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth. In small doses, this toxin will cause your pet to exhibit symptoms similar to that of a psychedelic drug, and is unlikely to be fatal. However, in larger doses, a dog or a cat will display a host of more severe symptoms, which in some extreme cases can lead to death if not treated quickly. These symptoms may include vomiting, difficulty breathing, foaming at the mouth, dilated pupils, increased heart rate, difficulty walking, lethargy, and seizure. It is important to seek medical advice if you notice any of these symptoms.
Immediately you suspect your pet has ‘mouthed’ a cane toad, you should gently flush your pet’s mouth with water, ensuring your pet does not choke by tilting their head downwards with their mouth facing the ground. Additionally, you should wipe your pet’s mouth out with a damp towel multiple times, washing the towel thoroughly between wipes. These actions will reduce the amount of the toxin absorbed by the pet and could be life-saving. An adult cane toad has enough toxin to kill an average sized dog in 15 minutes.

After this first aid treatment, and particularly if your pet is showing any symptoms as described above, it is best to seek medical treatment. You should have your local vet’s contact details in an easy to access location, as well as the contact details for an emergency vet in case your local vet is not open.

It is important to recognise the symptoms of bufotoxin ingestion in your pet even if you don’t see the toad, and that you are ready to act if your pet is exhibiting these symptoms; your knowledge and preparedness could save your pet’s life.
