This sounds like it was a toad, rather than a frog. Toads exude a poison from glands behind the eyes, to deter predators.
We get a lot of them in the yard, and one or two of our dogs particularly like to catch them. Luckily, we usually get there first! The symptoms of toad poisoning start with frothing at the mouth, and, in severe cases, go on to include reddening of the gums, drooling, vomiting, and head-shaking. In the most serious cases convulsions can occur. The normal suggested treatment is immediate flushing of the mouth and gums, taking care that the water is not ingested. You have already left a message for your vet, if symptoms continue, I would advise a discussion with the Emergency Hospital. The prognosis is usually good - there are relatively few deaths, other than among terriers in Florida that catch the huge Marine Toad!
