Keep dog quiet, and apply hot dry flannels to the belly continuously.
LEAD
The most likely method for lead-poisoning to occur in a dog is through the animal licking paint, or drinking out of a leaden vessel.
It is an uncommon form of poisoning in the dog. Lead poisoning can be either "acute" or "chronic," and is denoted by colicky pains, constipation and a blue line around the gums. Paralysis and other nervo-muscular signs supervene.
Give half an ounce of Epsom's salts until bowels are freely open, and later on, 5 grains of iodide of potash night and morning.
Warm fomentations to belly.
MERCURY
Mercurial poisoning but seldom occurs, and when it does, it is chiefly the result of the continued medicinal use of the drug, or as an over-dose.
Dogs seem particularly susceptible to the action of mercurial compounds, so that this drug requires to be given with circumspection.
