 Sheriff
Harley here with one of my “Top Ten Most
Unwanted” The FBI has a top ten most wanted
listed but my list contains the culprits that us
dogs want to stay away from. So I do not
overwhelm you, I will be presenting one villain
at a time. Please study carefully and be on the
lookout. If you spot one, please do not try and
apprehend. Tuck your tail and tell your parents.
SONORAN DESERT
TOADS
Aka:
Colorado
River Toad
Last seen:
At night, just
before or after Monsoon Season
Danger:
Neurological toxins on skin glands cause
seizure-like symptoms and excessive salivation
if a dog licks, bites or plays with the toad or
drinks from a water bowl where the toad was
sitting.
Treatment:
Flush out your dog’s mouth
thoroughly with a water hose aiming sideways,
not down his throat. If a pet is not back to
normal within 30 minutes and continues to
salivate, vomit or acts strangely, take to your
veterinarian immediately.
