Cats and toads
Toads secrete a venom when they feel threatened. If your cat licks or bites a toad, they can ingest the venom from the toad's skin. This can cause excessive salivation, nausea, and lethargy.
What should I do?
Keep your cat calm and observe them.
Gently rinse their mouth as soon as possible.
When to see a vet?
This reaction is usually harmless and resolves within a few hours to a day. If your cat isn't severely affected, you may be able to wait before contacting a vet. Keep a close eye on them, and consult your vet if their condition worsens significantly.
