Poor Bubby! Windex contains ammonia, and ingestion of it causes GI signs (drooling, appetite loss, vomiting), as well as oral ulcers, GI bleeding,/diarrhea, changes in breathing, even liver damage in some cases. He is showing signs of GI upset from ingestion, and he needs to be seen by a vet now. I would be concerned that he could develop ulcers and GI bleeding, and he needs treatment to prevent that from occurring. I would take him into a vet now. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
