I am sorry to hear about Foxy. I see your question was posted some time ago. Hopefully Foxy is doing just fine, but signs that would indicate she ingested enough to cause toxic effects would include vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, drunken appearance, lethargy. If any of these occur, seek veterinary care immediately. We will often recommend giving some milk to try to decrease effects on the GI tract if ingestion just occurred but since it has been some hours it is hard to say if this would help. Care that your vet can provide would include administration of activated charcoal to help decrease absorption of the toxins, IV fluid therapy to correct dehydration and support the kidneys, and medicaitons to help stop vomiting/GI upset. This toxin can affect the kidneys so keep a close eye as well on thirst and urination. If your dog starts showing increased thirst/urination then you should bring her to your vet to have her kidney values checked. If you want to play it safe, you can go ahead and bring her to your vet today to get her checked out.
