Hi... I have a pitbull puppy that's about 8 weeks old. I just got done mopping my floors with pinesol mixed with water and a splash of bleach. My puppy jumped up and smelled the bucket I don't think he drank any because I caught him soon enough. But I'm just making sure he'll be okay and what signs to look out for if he's not ?

If Smokey only smelled the cleaning solution wouldn't be too concerned but you may want to take him outside to a well ventilated area to get some fresh air. If he drank any of the water I would watch for regurgitation, vomiting, lethargy and lack of appetite. If any of those things occur you should have Smokey examined by a veterinarian right away.
