Hi Joshua,
No, those are not typical symptoms of poisoning but of course, I cannot tell you 100% for sure. If you think she may have been poisoned you need to get her to your vet right away.
It sounds to me like she is whining/crying because she is in heat and is wanting to breed with a male. That is my best guess.
Hope this helps. Best wishes.
