You never turn electronics on when there's the presence of liquid on it as it'll fry it best bet would be to remove it wash it with rubbing alcohol and hope you didn't already kill it.

you shouldn't have turned it on it could have shorted a lot of connections. Unplug it asap and remove all the parts and wash them. Let them dry completly for some days and then turn it on again

If you turned it on while it was wet, it's most likely dead. Either way, don't keep electronics near pets.

man if if dropped it in a pool but dryed it later it would work aging. Urine is more conductive than tap water, all that spread on your board may have fryed it all
