Dog OK
Shit the pellets. With some help from the doctor’s finger. Glad I didn’t have to be involved. yick.
Gonna have to keep the dog in a damned barrel. He’ll probably chew his way out of that.

A metal crate might work better than a barrel. I had to crate train for the first six years of her life. Now, I just keep her baby-gated in the master bathroom.
If I let her loose, she’ll chew EVERYTHING. Argh.
Next time, avoid the vet bill and feed him cotton balls, dipped in peanutbutter.
Just like running a patch through a barrel.
Next time feed the dog a couple cans of refried beans, aim his ass downrange, and post pictures of the groupings you get :)
don’t listen to dick: cotton expands in a dog’s stomach and can require serious surgery. (thing 1 ate his blanket during a storm last year and had to have major surgery at purdue…)
but i’m glad your pup is okay. :)
Glad to hear the pooch is okay, og.
And keep posting, so we know you didn’t get whacked on the highway, ‘K???
Still here, just swamped. Big fires. Not enough pee. No time to write haiku
We usually feed the dog a spoonful of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling – that has sugar – but just canned pumpkin) in his meal. Helps with digestion and keeps the anal glands working. When he eats something a bit extra, we throw a bit more pumpkin in the mix and occaisionally some boiled rice.
He often times eats coins – crap breaks off right there with a shiny coin showing through – but the worst thing he ever ate was a .40S&W round I dropped one night while unloading my gun. Ate it up within a split second of it hitting the ground. We were pretty worried about it (luckily he didn’t chew it) but he pooped it out a day later.
My vet’s words, not mine. My dog ate everything it could get it’s mouth on, so unless you’re a vet, and actually have a clue, (these are cotton balls, not entire blankets), blow me.
I work for a vet, remember ? Metamucil is great. Cat lax or felaxin (hairball remedies) help, too. I’ve seen dogs eat personal hygiene products, socks, bikini underwear, batteries, remote controls, beads, string,DIRTY diapers, carpet, McD’s happy meal toys. You get the point. Oh, and drywall.And poop…..preferably feline style but deer dropings are yummy, too, I hear. I’ll bet that your dog won’t be getting kisses any time soon.

Poor pup – glad he’s okay…
.20 calibre pellets? Og, what the hell are you Yanks shooting down there?
My air rifle days are long past, but back when I did use such arms they were either .177 or .22 cal. Is this for a competition air rifle or something?
My dog eats eye glasses, Pocket PC’s and only the finest home gadgets. She will be eating a .25-06 next if she keeps it up.
One of the finest air rifles in the business, the Sheridan Blue Streak has always been a .20 caliber rifle.
