and think he had one in his mouth that I couldn't get out before he swallowed it. Must have dropped two slugs while casting and missed it when I cleaned up. I'll check poop in snow path I have shoveled in the 18 in. of snow that fell on Tues. Anyone have any suggestions. I'll post if it passes in a day or so. afish4570
If it's still in the stomach, peroxide will make them puke. Administer via a turkey baster, if you don't use enough they wont puke.
This too shall pass. jd

My dog has had two stones removed , passed another and threw up one.
They will only show signs and need attention and surgery at 2am Sunday morning on a long week-end.
Don’t ask how I know.
Thought she swallowed a boolit too but after having conniptions about it I found it.phew
Good luck.
Hey next time keep your cool and offer them a treat.
They will spit them out for it.
If you go gun ho they will run off in play and swallow it just to spite you, no matter what horrible things you say you are going to do them.
I forgot to mention that we used the metal detector recently to determine if my pup Millie had swallowed my wife's air pods. She came up clean and transponder free, and the air pods were found at a later time and place. Metal detector would work great for a bullet. jd

If he gets gas don’t stand behind him.
That was funny right there.[smilie=l:Quote:

If it were me...I'd be checking to make sure it does come out. If not I'd probably take them to the vet for exam. Yeah, costs money, but, I'd worry too much if I didn't know for sure.
Our Sheepdog 'eats' rocks. Sometimes swallows them. Mostly smaller ones. Last xray showed there were 4 or 5 in the stomach. Probably still there as they looked to big to pass and I'd know if anything that big was in the 'output'.
Many years ago, our puppy was licking my wife's face and wound up swallowing her earring. She'd be out in the yard following him around every time he pooped, checking it with a stick. Determined as she was, she never did get her earring back, but was funny watching her go through dog poop every day.
That's what happens when you use bacon grease for boolit lube!
Personally I think it'll just wind up in a pile in the yard. I'm not a vet, but dogs have a "short and quick" digestive system and high acid stomach juices. Probably find a black chunk of lead in a pile of poop...
Hmmm, bacon grease in my boolit lube. Ain't tried that yet...

They do not instantly barf, it takes a couple of minutes.
Make him eat hominy boiled in milk , always made me throw up when I was a pup.
Won't hurt him a bit...When I was a kid I used to chew on bullets from the berm at the range. My dad went ballistic (no pun intended) So we called the doctor to see if it was harmful...
"Chewing on them is really bad, especially for kids...But swallowing them is not bad because they only give up a very little of the lead in the stomach. Not enough to hurt....But NO MORE chewing on them" Got my lead levels checked and was fine.
And don't let him retrieve any birds in deep water...sink like a fishing sinker....Quote:
