Antifreeze is extremely poisonous and very palatable (tastes sweet). I would get your dog to an emergency vet immediately if she shows any of the signs that I list. Here are the signs of antifreeze ingestion:
The onset of clinical signs is almost immediate and resembles alcohol (ethanol) intoxication. Dogs and cats exhibit vomiting due to GI irritation, polydipsia (increased drinking) and polyuria (increased urination), and neurologic signs (CNS depression, stupor, ataxia, knuckling, decreased withdrawal and righting reflexes)

Take your dog to the vet NOW! Antifreeze in any amount is exceedingly toxic to dogs & cats. Get off your computer and go!

Antifreeze is ******VERY****** toxic to dogs. If you think she got into it take her to a vet IMMEDIATELY. It can start to shut down organs like liver and kidneys very quickly. She may starting vomiting or having diarrhea or show neurological signs such as wobbling or falling down.
Get her some help soon!

Get your dog to the vet now! It will cause kidney failure. Its a bad death. Animals love the taste of it and will not hesitate to drink it. They will not be able to pass water and will start to throw up any liquid they drink. I'm not even sure if the vet can help.

First off take the dog to the vet!!!!!!! My dog got into some of that and a few weeks later he died. My dog was a big dog, so if yours is a small one, I don't know how that would affect it.
