This is in Chapter 8, towards the end.
I do not think it is clear that Napoleon actually thinks he is dying, but whether he does or not, what's really going on is that he is drunk.
The pigs find a case of whiskey in the cellar. Then Napoleon starts running around acting funny. Then they think he is dying. After that, Squealer comes out and announces that no one should drink alcohol.
Put that all together and it implies to me that Napoleon was drunk, even if they do claim that he has been poisoned by Snowball.
