Poor Boomer! Usually, small amounts of chlorine water are not harmful to a dog. Unless Boomer drank a large amount, I would think that there may be another reason why Boomer is not eating. I think it would be worth it to take him to your veterinarian to have an exam to make sure tht there is nothing else going on. Have fresh water available at all times to try to prevent him getting dehydrated. Best of luck!
