Dogs in Australias Northern Territory are becoming addicted to a
hallucinogenic cane toad poison, according to local vets.
Desperate for a canine high, dogs have been seen licking the backs of
cane toads for a poison secreted from glands.
Megan Pickering, a veterinarian in the town of Katherine, claims to
have seen many cases of dogs affected by the deadly toad poison.
"There seems to be dogs that are licking the toxin to get high, she
told the local newspaper.
"They lick the toads and only take in a small amount of the poison
they get a smile on their face and look like they are going to wander
off into the sunset."
She said she has recently treated dozens of dogs suffering from the
effects of bufo toxin.
Ms Pickering said she believes some of the dogs are becoming addicted
as she has seen some "going back to have a second go".
"It seems some of them have tasted it in small doses but there are
others that have had more toxin and come in fully-fitting.
"But (despite this) they go on to do it again and again they seem to
have worked it out."
Evidence of tripping dogs includes fitting, running in circles, with
bright red gums and/or frothing at the mouth.
Wildlife officers have advised owners to wash their pets mouth out with
water as quickly as possible.
They say they get more inquiries about safeguarding pets from the toad
than on any other aspect.
Owners are advised to keep dogs and cats inside at night, warn and
train them against tackling toads, and keep toads out of the yard.

ARF arf arf arf!
There was that cane toads documentary going around
alt.binaries.monter-movies. Wonderful film. There's an interview with a
hippie who is a hard-core toad-gland-toxin smoker. You smear toad-juice
on some glass, let it dry, roll it up like a ball of rubber cement and
smoke that. Judging from the amusing spaced-ness and, shall we say,
general half-acidness of the toad-smoking spokesperson, that shit fries
your brain worse than CNN.
