I would recommend just monitoring Coco at home. Crab is not toxic to dogs however it can cause them to have mild gastric upset. I would continue to feed Coco the same and provide water. However if at anytime she is vomiting or having diarrhea I would recommend taking Coco to the vet for an exam and medication for basic gastric upset. Hope that helps
