Tampa pet owner warns of deadly dangers of bufo toads after devastating loss

Last Friday, Rennette Arcuri said they let their dog outside their Tampa home and went to check on her after she wasn’t responding. “She was like going around in circles, and he found that kind of weird because she was a very healthy dog,” said Arcuri. “She was like unresponsive. She was starting to seize a little bit and have seizures, so he called me, and he said something’s wrong with her. I think maybe she got into something.” Arcuri discovered her dog bit a bufo toad. Within a matter of minutes of trying to get her to the vet for help quickly, it was too late.
