It's a shame necropsies are so expensive. I've been through a couple of mysterious dog deaths. Just adds to the anxiety. 
it will kill people too
poison aint no joke and alot of the time it is too late once symptoms manifest themselves
Odd timing, just had a coworker lose her German Shepherd a couple days ago. She said the dog wouldn't eat the night before and the next morning she called her mom from work to go check on the dog and her mom found him dead.
This is my thought. That fast and foaming at the mouth screams poison of one form or another to me. Could also be something he ate that he shouldn't have. Some lizards/frogs will do that if they bite/eat them as well
Quite a few "people" foods are not good for dogs...

Sorry to hear this.
Something similar happened to my Ridgeback last year. Fine in the AM and then extremely lethargic and foamy and passed by 4pm same day.
It turns out it was an extremely aggressive cancer in his heart. It caused his heart and surrounding area to fill with fluid constricting blood flow and basically gave him a heart attack.
He was normal the day before and playing hard and then 24 hrs later...
No Chinese dog treats in the house, been that way for a few years now. I gave her two pieces of rawhide from Brazil yesterday but also gave my grandson's dog one and no sick signs from her.
Except for where her belly was swollen this morning, I didn't see any swelling that might indicate a snake bite. Our Jack Russell terrier used to get bit at least once a year and his face would swell up like he had a softball under his skin. Didn't see any thing like that on this dog??
I appreciate the kind words and possible causes. Thank all of you.

that's all gonna matter on the type of venom. if its a neurotoxin you may only see a small bump and not much swelling at all which is what you see more with cytotoxins and with the labored breathing it would deff sound more like a neurotoxin.
Sorry to hear about your pet, it sure sounds like the way my dog did. Was there any symptoms in the weeks before his passing?
