That was naught of Nita to destroy your geranium plant! The geranium is toxic to dogs, and causes anorexia, depression, vomiting, and skin reactions. Given that you are sure how much she ate, I would monitor her for now. If you see any of the signs I have mentioned above, I would take her into a vet for treatment.
