No clue really what to do but you may want to try and flush his system with some water. squirt some water down his throat to see if it gets rid of the dirt blockage. I wish you luck.

unfortunatly, he didnt make it through, not really anything else to say... loved the guy deeply, was a pretty snappy little bugger, heyll be missed

I'm really sorry for your loss. It is horrible to loose any animal that you care for.
