Dish soap irritates the stomach and is expected to cause nausea and vomiting, but no other toxic effects beyond that. He should be back to normal within 24 hours if this problem is due to the soap. If he is still not eating after a day, or having other problems, then I reccomend having him evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. There may be another reason for him not eating. In the meantime, make sure he has plenty of water and food available. I hope that helps and Quavo gets better soon.
