Poor Phoebe. Do not give her any olive oil, that won't help. What I am concerned about is that she may have difficulties breathing. This can be very serious and breathing difficulties can be fatal. Without seeing her in person, I can't say if she will be ok or not. I'd have her seen by an ER vet now to be safe. I hope this helps!
