My dog just drank a bowl of water with maybe 10ml of pure lemon extract. Is that safe for her?

If it was diluted, she likely won't suffer serious effects, especially at her weight. You may see some gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting and/or diarrhea. Monitor for drooling, decreased appetite, weakness or ataxia (wobbly gait). See your veterinarian if necessary. The alcohol content is a concern, but the dilution and her weight will work in her favor. Monitor for similar symptoms.
