Need help. Dog ate something outside and is shaking, puking, pooping, peeing and generally on a trip.

Yeah, and you gotta wonder who sat around imagining it:

Two brothers swinging on the front porch: “Hey, Bub! Wanna go lick that toad’s belly?”

“Why, hell naw, Billy Bob. You do it and I’ll buy you a six-pack of Schlitz!”

Toad venom as aphrodisiac causes death

This is one frog no princess would ever want to kiss. It’s a six-inch amphibian called a cane toad, and it’s one of dozens of poisonous frogs that secrete a toxin to ward off their enemies.

Now, that poison has been turned into small, hard, dark brown squares that some people are eating, believing it will increase their sexual prowess. One New York City man just paid for it with his life.

The 35-year-old victim checked into an emergency room within twelve hours of consuming the substance, complaining of chest and abdominal pains.

Diagnosed with an abnormally slow heart rhythm, the man initially appeared to be recovering. But ultimately his health rapidly declined and he died.

For years it’s been reported that one of the active ingredients in the poison called bufotenine

[be-u-foh-TEN-een] can cause hallucinations if ingested. About twenty years ago that morphed into a belief that the venom was also an aphrodisiac. As far back as the early ’90s people started eating it and dying.

Since then the Food and Drug Administration has declared the substance illegal, but small shipments slip through, and adult shops sell the product under street names like Piedra [pee-AY-drah], Rock Hard, Love Stone and Chinese Rock.

Some think the product is safer if it’s rubbed on as its packaging recommends, but doctors warn against this as well, noting that even topical use can cause nausea, vomiting and chest or abdominal pain. Toad venom, they say, is no fairly tale, no matter how it’s taken.

Our dog got very sick on a mushroom in the yard once. I would walk the dog on a leash for a few weeks.

Grapes too.

I think mine is a Denmark Feist. Named after two brothers who bred rat terriers, beagles and whippets into what they thought would be a good squirrel dog. She has a large whippet like chest and a beagles sense of smell. The ‘kill anything that moves’ instinct has to be terrier.

Yes, all three you mentioned can be bred to make a Feist. Mine have a lot of JRT traits but are taller and weigh more than most JRT's. Feists can range from 10-30 pounds depending on the range of breeds. One that has more Rat Terrier will be smaller. Mine range between 21-23 pounds. Here is a picture of all three. The one without a collar is Jack, their brother. He's small at maybe 18 pounds. My girls are bigger. Amy, on the left, is stockier with shorter legs. She's the rabbit dog. Abby, in the middle, prefers squirrels. She's the tree climber. All of them will kill anything that runs from them.
