Hello. I’m so sorry to hear this! You need to get Kota to a veterinary emergency room ASAP. The ingestion of this quantity of bleach could be fatal. He will need supportive care to see him through this intoxication. Whatever you do, don’t make him throw up because bleach is caustic and can cause more trouble coming back up. I sincerely hope Kota is ok. Good luck!
