    I hope Pinot feels better! Yes, toadies have nasty tasting stuff in their 'warts'. I would hope the vomiting got rid of the worst of it, and she will be ok and not dehydrated.

    Prayers for Pinot!

    Poor Pinot! I'll bet it was some kind of toxin emitted by the toad, and that it will pass with no further issues.

    Sparky likes to play with toads when he finds one in the yard, but he doesn't put them in his mouth. He likes to paw at then to make them hop away. And of course if he finds one dead that has been a victim of the lawn mower - then he will roll all over it, necessitating a bath to get rid of the smell!

    Thanks all for information and concern...the call is in to Dr. Huson, I'll report when she gets back to me!

    She got right back to me...love my vet...
    According to Dr. Huson throwing up her food is not related to the toad. She has an appointment tomorrow. I have had kitties that threw up food before (and YUCK ate it again), so maybe this is nothing to worry about, but we'll see.

    Funny toad story

    This makes me think of the time my brother the herpetologist attempted to collect a toad from my mother's vegetable garden. Mom (a dedicated organic gardener of long standing) physically restrained him and made it quite clear that she wanted the toad to stay in the garden and eat insect pests, as God meant it to do. Glad to know God gave the toad a back-up defense.
