"yes you have to go out and puncture their stomach with
a pin to let the gas out.. "
I just about killed 15 to 20 dairy cows once, leaving them out in the alfalfa too long. I was taking a nap with my 2 year old...woke up and one of them was barely standing, due to the pressure on her heart. I flagged down an 80 y.o. out for a walk, and a drunken 70 y.o. driving (yes, driving) by, while awaiting the vet to show up from the other side of the county. When he got there, he stabbed them with not a pin, but a big knife in the (1 of 4) stomach(s). He then proceeded to do 4 or 5 more cows, instructing me how to handle it "next time." Fortunately the incident never repeated. I don't think this would work on a road toad with an overload...
I saw that puncturing thing on a movie once. I thought it was a joke until a wiser person set me straight. If FreeRepublic had existed then, I could have just come in here to find out!
