First you will need to make sure that Bruno has a cool place, preferably with A/C. If he is dehydrated your veterinarian can give him fluids under the skin. Feed him some commercial tinned food available from your veterinarian or pet place and add water to it to make a soup or gruel. This will help to get fluid into him. He may have a more serious gastro-intestinal problem so if he is not eating nor drinking, take him back to your veterinary doctor or to another one for a second opinion. Do not offer him milk, or fruit juice, just plain cool fresh water to drink.
