Ouch. It depends a) how much the dog actually ingested and b) on the ingredients in the body scrub. I would imagine if nothing else, GI symptoms - vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, lack of appetite. If there are any toxic ingredients, they could cause problems, too. I would take her to your vet if you're concerned about her, and don't forget to bring the scrub with you so your vet can read the ingredients! If it's an all natural body scrub, you're probably a bit luckier, but I would still bring her in. Monitor her for diarrhea, nausea (drooling, constantly licking their lips, urpy, uncomfortable), and vomiting or anything else abnormal for your pet's behavior. And next time, put the body scrub in a cabinet! :]
