Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately, there is not much you can do at home other than making sure she continues to drink water. It is very important that she is evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. As you noted these can be quite toxic and she is already exhibiting some of the signs of being affected by it. Your veterinarian would be able to check in with poison control to check on the most updated guidelines on how to manage this toxicity and they choose to induce vomiting as well as providing supportive care to get her through this. I am hoping she recovers quickly. Good luck!
