Bleach can cause severe internal burns. I would recommend to call the Pet Poison Control Hotline. The chemicals are diluted but they will have a better idea of what amount is toxic and what the next steps should be. These burns can occur within minutes to a few hours. Call them ASAP. I hope everything turns out ok with Malec!
