Poor Blu! It does sound like she's quite sick if she won't eat or get up. This could be related to toxicity from the lawn chemicals, or it could be an unrelated problem such as parvo (especially if she isn't fully vaccinated). These symptoms are very concerning, so I would recommend taking Blu to an emergency vet today for an exam. He/she can do some diagnostic testing if needed to help determine the problem and get her started on appropriate treatment.
