Linda, still saying prayers and thinking about you. Murphy oil soap is non- toxic and bleach would be the best (if there is such a thing) of all caustic solutions to swallow. Has the vet started steroids for Bogie? It might help with recovery. Here is an article I found...maybe print it for the vet and see if he wants to try any of the advice?:
http://www.utmb.edu/otoref/Grnds/Aerodigestive%20Tract-2001-04/Aerodigestive-Tract-2001-04.htm
| Quote: | Steroids must be started within the first 8 hours for maximal effectiveness. Since esophagoscopy is not carried out until 24-48 hours, many physicians treat all patients with steroids initially and discontinue them if endoscopic findings warrant it. Prednisone at 2 mg/kg/day is used for 21 days with a subsequent 21 day taper. Steroids are used with the goal of decreased stricture formation. Grade 1 burns do not usually progress to stricture so steroids are stopped if diagnosis confirms this. Steroids also are not used in the grade 3 injuries as surgery will be required and the risk of perforation is increased with steroid use. Grade 2 injuries are where steroids are felt to be most beneficial in preventing stricture formation. In numerous animal studies, steroids have been found to limit the inflammatory response, reduce the formation of granulation tissue, fibrous tissue proliferation, and stricture formation. Cardona and Daly feel that strictures are also easier to manage in steroid treated patients. Others have found a decreased incidence of permanent esophageal sequelae with steroid use but some authors have reported no benefit with steroid use. Anderson in a widely cited paper, concluded that steroids appear to confer no benefit in children who have ingested a caustic substance, but Holinger argues that their study showed a clear trend toward improved outcomes with steroid use. He thought that with larger patient numbers and higher doses of steroids, there would be statistical significance.
Protection of injured esophageal mucosa from gastric acid reflux is generally considered important although not proven in human studies. H2 blockers and liquid carafate slurries to prevent further esophageal damage is recommended.
Lathyrogens are chemicals that prevent covalent cross-linking of collagen. It is theoretically possible to prevent dense scarring or soften established scarring with their use. Authors have shown improvement in dog and rat models but no human studies are available as of yet. Penicillamine and N-acetylcysteine have been used in humans for other indications and may prove useful in caustic ingestions.
Placement of a nasogastric tube or esophageal stent can be used in severe esophageal injuries to decrease the likelihood of stricture formation by preventing adherence of the anterior and posterior walls of the esophagus. These can be placed in the first 24 hours under fluoroscopic guidance or at the time of endoscopy. In their usage in 32 patients with severe circumferential burns, Wijburg had stricture development in only 2 patients.

UPDATE FROM LINDA
Linda just called and right now Bogie is awake from surgery and wagging his tail HOWEVER he's still in a bad state and vomiting.
they're not sure what Bogie got yet and the biopsies won't be back for 5 to 7days. They do have Bogie on ulcer med as Linda earlier described bogies burns and ulcerations.
PLEASE PLEASE KEEP UP THE PRAYERS....the vet talked about Bogie may take a while to heal but it is possible he can make it. Linda and her hubby are beside themself right now.
Linda and her hubby have no real answers.......but they do need to hear we all have hope faith and prayers that BOGIE is a fighter 
and someone will figure out what to do to help Bogie out more.
PS LINDA --- is so thankful for all our prayers as I told her about everyone here praying for her and bogie
