XXXXXXXX,
Can you tell me the size (how many pounds) of your cat and extimate the size of the frog in inches? Has your cat been salivating since eating?

Hello There,I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner but I had computer problems.My cat weighs 10 pds and the frog was a "sticky" frog ,about 3".He didn't actually eat the frog,he had it in his mouth and was salivating and his eyes were running,later i found the frog and saw that he wasn't even punkchered.He was alive.my cat threw up later.i washed his mouth and face under running water right away.this happened at 4:00am -11 hours ago and he seems fine now.the cat also has an overactive thyroid and is on meds for that.thanks.

XXXXXXXX,
That is a typical response to mouthing a frog. You did the most appropriate thing using running water. I would have expected the salivating to have stopped by now, please let me know if it has not.
