My dog drank pool chemicals. What symptoms and risks should I know?

Question

I was prepping a muriatic acid solution for my pool (32 oz Klean Strip Green to 1.5-2 gallons of water) and I think my Basset Hound may have stuck his head in for a drink. what symptoms would he have, how long to show up, and is that concentration dangerous?

If he drank some he would develop ulcers in his mouth, tongue, and esophagus, depending on the strength. He would likely be drooling, have no appetite, difficulty breathing, panting and painful. If you aren't seeing any of these signs then he probably didn't contact any. If he is, he needs veterinary care immediately.
