Look at her gums. Are they pink or any other dark color? If her gums are not pink, it can be a sign of something more serious than swallowing shampoo.

Pinch her skin on the back. If it comes right back, she is hydrated, if the skin stays raised from the bones, she needs to be given liquids soon.
No, I put her head in one of those U shaped collars when I am shampooing her. I go back later with a wash cloth and warm water to clean her face.
She wasn't coughing at all before but did seem a little groggy and uninterested in her food. I just figured she was having a lazy day like she does sometimes. Her gums were and still are pink and I pinkced the back of her skin and it pops right back. She's on antibiotics now so I am hoping she will be all well soon!
