Neem oil itself is not toxic, but it could upset her tummy if ingested. I would starve her the rest of the day and if the vomitting continues take her to the vet. It would take really help much with her allergies, you could try antihistamine medication, otherwise, it is case of taking her to the vet and getting medication such as apoquel.
