Let me delete your forum from my bookmarks. Nasty and stupid.

One more thing. The chance of death is relatively low – 4% if you have a vet hospital nearby.
Similar American study showed the same results

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:

To report the clinical characteristics of toad toxicity in domestic dogs in Brisbane.
DESIGN:

A retrospective analysis of clinical cases.
PROCEDURE:

All cases of toad poisoning which presented to a northern suburbs emergency clinic in Brisbane over a 30-month period beginning in April 1999 were reviewed.
RESULTS:

A total of 90 canine cases of suspected toad poisoning were reviewed. Small breed dogs accounted for 76% of cases. Jack Russell, Silky, and Fox Terriers were the most represented breeds. Cases were reported year round, with fewest cases over the winter months. The most common clinical signs were increased salivation (78% of cases), and red oral mucous membranes (63% cases). Seizures occurred in 31% of cases. Generally the outcome was excellent with 96% survival.

Here is how it is calculated in Medicine (I am not a vet):

Atropine is available in 15 mg/ml
Maximal dose is 2mg/kg
For a dog of let’s say of 15 kg you should NOT use more than
30mg (2×15) of atropine which is 2ml of 15mg/ml solution.
However, I will check with my vet friends to double check this.
Also, some articles suggest propranolol(Inderal)
as an option.

[quote=”maravilla”]the typical dose for atropine is 0.25 cc per 10 kilos. [/quote]

Atropine comes in several dilutions. Perhaps, mg/kg is a safer way to go. Maximal dose is 2mg/kg.

It is amazing how much hate people carry with them no matter where they go.

Oh, where are you, count Kropotkin?
