I used a little bit of lemongrass essential oil on my wrist, first making sure it was not anything that was going to harm my dog. However, I accidentally touched her before it was dry, and she kind of went crazy for a minute rubbing her face all over the floor and furniture. She seems to be ok now, but should I be worried about a bigger allergic reaction? How long do I need to watch her to worry about her possibly being sick or allergic? Can I use a cool washcloth on her face??
