It sounds like your goldendoodle may have had a reaction to eating the black spider. Some spiders can indeed be toxic to dogs, and the symptoms you're describing, such as being limp and unresponsive, are concerning. These could indicate a serious reaction or even poisoning.

Given the severity of these symptoms and the fact that this behavior is unusual for your dog, I strongly recommend seeking immediate veterinary attention. A veterinarian will be able to assess your dog's condition and provide the necessary treatment, which might include supportive care or specific antidotes if the spider was toxic.

In the meantime, try to keep your dog calm and monitor for any additional symptoms, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or difficulty breathing. These could offer further clues to the veterinarian about what might be happening.

Please take your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible to ensure they receive the appropriate care. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
