Thank you for submitting your question regarding Louie. If he is still experiencing the symptoms you have described, then I recommend seeking emergency veterinary care this evening. He may have just been exhausted from the swim. In that case though, his symptoms would resolve rapidly with rest. Otherwise I worry there is something more serious going on with him. Poisonings are a common cause of a rapid onset of the sign you have described. Good luck!
