What happens if a hamster eats fenugreek?

I have a roughly 5-month-old large black puppy that eats anything. Three days ago it came home trembling; I thought it was cold. It stopped eating and only drank water. Today it returned weak and could barely walk, with cold paws and a stiff body. My relative thinks it ate rat poison and forced salt water down its throat. Its tongue looked pale and it drooled. Will it survive the night? What illness is this?
If the puppy is normally free-roaming, the cause could be poisoning, cold weather, low blood sugar, pain or an infectious disease. Check the temperature and move it indoors to keep warm, and observe its diet, temperature, nose, stool, energy and vomiting to narrow down the cause and treat accordingly.
