My dog had tremors after I put tea tree oil on her. Is she okay?

Question

I added tea tree oil to coconut oil and rubbed it on my dogs fur. I left it on over night (about 16 hours) and then washed it with blue dawn dish soap. She had tremors when she first woke up but they seem to be gone now. is that a sign of toxin poisoning or is she ok? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Tea tree oil is toxic to dogs and should never be used on them unless significantly diluted. Tremors are a sign of poisoning, and even though Lil bit seems ok now, I would still have her seen by a vet right away for a health check.
