Oreo could have heat stroke. She needs to be seen by an emergency veterinarian as soon as possible. I recommend continuing to contact them or any other veterinarians in your area. Keep her indoors in a well padded area, rotate the side she lays on every 2-4 hours but if she is not responsive or vomiting do not offer her anything by mouth and do not give any human medication. As soon as your veterinarian is open and you have not heard from the emergency vet take her in immediately.
