So, do they have to remove it or will it remove on its own?
Never a good idea to let the doggies into the reloading room. They'll find stuff you never knew you dropped and like a 2 or 3 year old child, it always goes in their mouth.

At least it was not your homework, no one would have believed that!
drinks, NRA life, TSRA life, SAF life, CCRKBA, GOA, JPFO, CBA, Def-Con.
The bullet nerd in me wishes it were powder coated so we could see how well it held up to the GI tract.
Was it lubed with an animal fat grease lube, or is your dog just young and adventurous and not very discrminating?
Took her to the Vet, she said it would never pass. They wanted to try to make her throw up first before they did surgery. Luckily that worked. They said she threw up in a stainless bowl and they heard a thunk. It is a 245 grain I was reloading for a Blackout. One of the techs who is a shooter came in when they did the x-Ray and said "is that a .30?
The three dogs aren't allowed in the reloading room; this one snuck in. BTW her name is Ammo ( she's my dog ). Her two brothers are named Merlot and Gallo ( my wife named those two ). She's only 5 months old, her brothers are 5 YO. I've reloaded close to 125,000 rounds in the past 5years. This is the first one anyone has eaten.
She's famous now, the Vet wanted to put the x-Ray on their Facebook page and I said OK.

WP, what kind of doggie?
Looks like a boolit hound from the x-ray
She's a West Highland White Terrier. That's her in the middle.

Glad you caught it!
I'm assuming that a cast boolit? Not good for dogs. It is rumoured that their digestive acids will dissolve enough of it to kill them! Cattle die from eating the lead plates from old tractor batteries and other lead pieces they find. And we're not talking about teething calves either! Not sure why they would eat lead though!?

Cattle will also die from eating a piece of steel, as in baling wire or anything of the sort, but they have a whole different stomache setup.
I had a dog chew on a round ball till it was basically unrecognizable, but never swallowed it.
Our 3 month old doberman we are god parents of ate his collar a couple weeks ago, it had little brass horses around the collar, they showed up on the xray like your boolit. Surgery and 28 stiches later and he's ok now.
Life is better with dogs!
We had a German Shepherd one time that ate a whole frozen chicken. Nothing was left except the wrapper. The Vet had never seen this before and she passed it by herself without surgery.
Had a Lab pup, that true to his breed, would eat anything. Didn't even have to be in the food classification. One day, once he got big enough to reach the lower shelf under my loading bench, he found and ate the better part of a stick of the old black Lyman crayon type lube, box and all. Never bothered him in the least, never threw up or even got the runs. I've had labs for about 40 years and am still amazed at what they will eat.
Yes, in fact, another name for lead acetate is "sugar of lead". Some people say the decline of the Roman Empire was because of their use of lead as a sweetener in wine.
The Vet is going to do a blood lead level to check her out and some chelation therapy if needed.

My friends dog had eaten about a lb of real good Rat poison a few years ago. He called, all worried. I told him to mix 2 TBLs hydrogen peroxide to about 4- 5 ounces of water and suck it up in a Baster. Place it in the dogs mouth toward the back and squish the liquid out slow. The dog swallowed it and in a few minutes vomited everything in his stomach, best to do it outside.
It worked like a charm and dog is still alive today and he never went to the Vet.
If you have dogs, always have Hydrogen Peroxide handy and a baster, it will save you a Vet bill.
I have had dogs as pups that chewed everything from chair to table legs. ANYTHING at all. Then got my pekingnese pup, never chewed a thing and will not eat anything funny. That little head has more brains then any dog I ever had.
