Poor Frankie! I'm sorry to hear that you believe she has azalea poisoning. Azaleas can cause gastrointestinal upset in dogs (vomiting and diarrhea), but can also be toxic to the heart - this can be extremely serious and may cause death in some cases. The safest thing for Frankie would be to take her to an emergency vet right away rather than trying to treat her at home, so this is what I would recommend doing if at all possible. If you aren't able to see a vet, then all you can really do at home for this problem is keep her comfortable and hydrated as best you can and hope that she recovers. If she is vomiting and having diarrhea, you can try feeding a bland diet of plain boiled chicken and rice to help settle her stomach. You could also try offering her some low-sodium chicken or beef broth to encourage her to drink, if you are concerned that she might be dehydrated.
