I wouldn't be getting too frantic, unless you see any behavior changes. Just keep an eye on her.
When Koda was about a year old he knocked some Advil gel tabs from the counter and had a hay day. We didn't meant to leave them out but hubby was rushing me to the ER with my own medical issue so we weren't really thinking. Anyways, hubby took Koda to the ER while I was in the people ER and it cost about $300 to get his stomach pumped and some charcoal. He was fine.

He also got into some chocolate once, not much, but enough to make us worry. We called a vet (not ours at the time) and they said to bring him in and it would be $500 to induce the vomiting, plus a lot more for IV and to keep him for 2 days to keep an eye on him. Instead we used google and found out both Peroxide and basic table Salt work to induce vomiting. I didn't have peroxide so we used salt. Just 1/2 a teaspoon put on the very back of his tongue and he threw everything up in 2-3 mins.

When in doubt call a vet, but sometimes home remedies work too.

I'm very sure your furry friend will be ok
