My dog drooled suddenly after coming inside. Did she eat poison?

Pet's info: Dog | German Shorthaired Pointer | Female | spayed | 7 years and 7 months old | 55 lbs

My dog just came inside and is suddenly drooling a ton, it's just dropping from her mouth. It's been going on for 10 minutes now. Her resps resps seem normal, about 40 a min. She's just laying on the couch now. She's isn't lethargic but she looks really tired. Im juat hoping she didn't eat something poisonous. I may b overreacting, but the drooling is freaking me out, she's not a drooler

It definitely is possible that she ate something while outside that is either making her nauseated, or tasted bad and is causing her to drool. If the drooling continues or she shows any other signs of illness such as lethargy, vomiting, disorientation, etc, seeking veterinary care immediately is best.
