My dog is acting weird after I aplied Seageant's Gold flea and tick squeeze on.
She is twitching, panting, salivating and can not lay down

I hope your dog is OK!  Bathing and supportive therapy are the only treatments for most insecticide reactions, because many do not have antidotes.

Please view the following article which is a newspaper article about the number of adverse reactions to flea and tick products.  The great majority of problems occur in over the counter products:

In most cases the products are safe, and they have an important role in preventing tick borne disease and fleas. The value is worth the occasional risk.

I am not the Vet, but it may take awhile for her to answer... Your dog is in TROUBLE! She is being POISONED by the over-the-counter flea drops....Put her in the tub (Now) and wash them off as best you can. Scrub the area, where you applied the drops, real well. Just use a bar of soap...DO NOT use a flea & tick shampoo! Get her to an emergency center or Vet ASAP. Good luck and please let me know the outcome.....Karla
