개와 두 꺼 비 Poisionings : 조심해라.

Toads are a common and for the most part harmless feature of backyards around the world – however a certain number of species are equipped with natural defence systems against predators that can backfire for curious dogs who cross their path. Equipped with poisonous skin of various strengths, a dog who licks or happens to eat a toxic toad may be in serious trouble.

Poisonous Species

In the US, the Colorado River Toad and Giant Toad are the two most likely species to cause illness and death in dogs. In Australia, the introduced Cane Toad is a prevalent and serious problem for pet owners as its range extends across half the continent and lethal results are likely in untreated cases.

Signs of Poisoning

There are a number of signs of poisoning that may be apparent in your dog. Excessive drooping, frothy salivation, head shaking, pawing at the mouth and vomiting are common symptoms, with severity varying depending on the type of toad, the amount of toxin the dog was exposed to and the amount of time that passed before they were found by their owners. Other symptoms are cardiac arrhythmias, dyspnea (shortness of breath), cyanosis (blueish discolouration of skin) and seizures.

치료

If you suspect your dog has had a nasty encounter with a toad an immediate trip to the vet is essential. Time is one of the most crucial factors which will determine whether or not a dog will survive. An affected dog will likely have their mouth flushed and drugs used to control abnormal heart rhythms. A cool bath may also be used to reduce temperature and painkillers administered to reduce the dog’s suffering whilst it stabilises.

Remember

Whilst toads can be dangerous to dogs it is important not to overreact if you see a toad or frog in your garden as they are an important part of the ecosystem that are often completely harmless to your pet. Your local wildlife authority is the best source of information as to what species are in your area and if any are potentially harmful to your four-legged friend.

내 개는 최근에 두꺼비를 두드리고 하이퍼 살라 베이션을 경험하고 입안에서 거품을 일으키지 만 응급 수의사 클리닉 (물론 주말이었습니다)에 전화했을 때 개가 아프지 않을까 걱정하지 말라고 들었습니다. 이제 걱정입니다. 내가 받았던 충고에 관해서, 운 좋게 개는 ok이었다.

우리 개는 우리가 수의사에게 집으로 달려가는 지팡이 두 마리를 가지고 있습니다. 우리가 그를 데려 오는 데 몇 분 더 걸렸다면 죽을 것입니다. 밤에는 애완 동물을 데리고 나가서 조심하십시오. 제 강아지가 가질 때까지 얼마나 위험했는지 몰랐습니다. 그의 생명을 구하기 위해 7 백 달러가 들었습니다.

내 개는 두꺼비를 발견했지만 여기 두 마리의 두꺼비가 아니었고 개가 두꺼비를 만졌지 만 그가 독이 있는지 없는지 누군가 나에게 말해줘
