My dog accidentally ate a DayQuil pill. I gave her hydrogen peroxide to throw it up. She did. Now she is very lethargic. Is that normal?

If the entire intact pill was in the vomit you probably don't need to worry and she may be tired after vomiting. If it seemed to be punctured or partially dissolved then there might be a chance for toxicity depending on what type of DayQuil it was and what the active ingredients are. If it was punctured repost your question and either take a picture of the box or list the active ingredients.
