What's the worse thing a dog can pick up from poop?

I was playing with her in the yard with a frisbee and noticed she picked it up and immediately spit it out. I walked over to the frisbee and found animal poop smeared on it. Turns out there was poop in my yard from another animal. I know stray cats and opossums wonder my yard at night, but this is the first time I've found poop in my yard that wasn't my dogs. And this poop seemed fresh.

Do I need to take her to a vet? I dowsed my yard with water to help wash away what was smeared and couldn't simply be picked up.

Update:

I've also gave her water and I'm about to brush her teeth.

    Dogs like to eat poop. It's their chocolate.

    I wouldn't worry. Dogs eat poop all the time, its kinda gross but its true. My dogs eat chicken poop and they haven't gotten any diseases from it. Its fine, it happens all of the time.
