This article says there is no antidote, just supportive care.
There are more websites that address cane toad and dogs.
Sorry for all of those who have sufferedor lost their pets from the toad poison. We have them here in Tx too, but luckily have not had a problem. One of my poodles was bit by a rattle snake and other snakes, but I have not lost any.
You can also train to teach them to leave it alone, using a live toad and treat/clicker training.
One suggestion might be is to put together an emergency kit for your dogs, especially the large chested breeds which includes a boxer for things like bloat, toad posioning and whatever your dog is susceptable to. I have the activated charcoal and perioxide handy in case they swallow something.
The book Dog Home health care Veterninary Handbook By Carlson is a great supplement to your vet to have on hand. Lots of emergencies happen when it is a weekend or evening and it is hard to contact a vet. This book has helped and reassured me many times. It pays for itself over and over. Also they have put out one for cats.
I have an older dog who is in his last days and it is rough seeing them hurting.
Pets are like our family!
