Will my rug survive?

I have a rather nice rug that suddenly developed a little kick in the side today. It wouldn't stay flat. In the end, I turned it over and found that my older dog has peed on it (quite a lot of pee by the look of things). The wet part of the weave at the back of the rug seems to have shrunk, leaving it kicked at the edge - where it's quite noticeable!

Is there anything I can do to get it flat again? I tried drying it with a hairdryer (after treating it with anti-pee stuff) to see if it would bounce back but I've ended up blowing the fuse in the dryer and the rug's still very wet :(

Has anyone else had this problem? And if so, how to fix it?!
