Some forms of flea preventative used on dogs can be toxic to cats. I have seen this many times with Hartz flea preventative. You should really get her to a family vet right away. If you are not able to, You need to bathe her in dish detergent (it removes the flea preventative from the fur and skin). Be very generous with the detergent, and avoid the ears/eyes/mouth. If you call your Vet and tell them the situation, they should be able to see her right away. Good Luck
