My dog drank water with a charger and blue gunk. Should I be worried?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | spayed | 9 years and 11 months old | 11 lbs

I know this is super weird, but long story short, one day I came home to find the tip of my charger in my dogs water bowl (the water bowl had some soggy dog food in it). There was some blue gunk on the tip of my charger and a little amount in the water bowl too. I kicked the water bowl under the bed to keep my dog from getting to it, but forgot about it. Now over a week later my dog sniffed it out and I caught her taking a drink out of it! I pulled her away as soon as I could but I'm so worried!

Hello. I would not stress too much about this. The biggest concern would be mold from the soggy food. If you notice any tremors, twitching or seizuring I would have her seen by a vet immediately, however otherwise if she is happy, eating/drinking, and behaving normally I would just monitor her at home.
