my dog ate my primers!
Seriously, he chewed up and engulfed 1000 federal 215 and another few hundred CCI benchrest primers thatI had just scrounged from two small gunshops out in the boonies. took em right off the dining table!
i have been treating him with kid gloves for the last couple days, and have exhiled him to the yard. No explosions yet. But i havent had the guts to kick him, which he richly deserves!
This is my wifes Obama dog (portugese water dog). Wonder if he has hunting potential? he chewed up a gun case same day- seems to like guns and gunpowder!

Personally I think if there would ever be a reason to kick your dog that would be the occasion...

If only to see if he'd actually explode....

That's truly funny, but on a more serious note, I wonder if the lead styphnate in the primer compound could be toxic to your dog.

I would call the primer manufacturer and ask if they know if the lead in the primer can be absorbed from the GI tract. I doubt that poison control could answer that question, but it might be worth checking there too.

Lead poisoning can take several days to show up. Watch for signs of anemia--pale gums and lethargy. Your vet can draw blood to check for the characteristic signs of lead toxicosis in the CBC.

Or, as you've said, he's an Obama dog anyway, and maybe nature should just run it's course......

This isn't good. If you haven't taken your dog to the vet yet, you should get him an immediate appointment.

I'm not a vet (I'm a pharmacist), but if this were a person, the first thing I'd recommend is lavage with activated charcoal or whole bowel irrigation with polyethylene glycol solution (Golytely).

I would then check a blood lead level, which would determine if chelation therapy is needed.

Not to alarm you, but here are the human symptoms of large acute exposure:

a) ACUTE TOXICITY - Common in young children with a history of pica. Symptoms can include: anorexia, vomiting, malaise, and convulsions; may cause permanent brain damage and reversible renal injury.

1) The ingestion of rapidly absorbed salts causes an acute syndrome of hepatic injury, hemolysis, anorexia, vomiting, malaise, and seizures due to increased intracranial pressure, as well as, chronic exposure effects.

In today's political climate, he might get arrested for not having the primers in a secure location.

My guess is that your dog is going to have a very bad week.

Personaly, I wouldn't worry a second about it. Everybody for the last ten years has told me that my dog eating grass (he herks up a wad the size of a large orange after 20 minutes of grazing) will kill him. It has'nt and unless you kick your mutt hard enough in the ass to set off a primer, scoop carefully and throw it in your neighbors burn barrel for effect! Eeker Greg

Apparently he understands about the dining room table. Any way you can use that to your advantage?

You are a sad bastard but the same idea was crossing my mind as I read the original post.
I was wondering if it would be safe for the dog to fart !

Well my large Chesapeake, that's her in the middle



ate a whole pecan about 3 weeks ago (we grow 'em big around here)



and it stopped her up and I had to spend $3600.00 to solve that situation. Maybe I should have fed her a little powder and then some primers and gave her a good swift kick. Would have been cheaper one way or the other!

She would eat a tin can if someone threw it on the floor!

From everything I have read and learned from this forum it seems to me that if the 215 primer fits snugly in the anus you can still use the dog.

Otherwise a loose fitting primer in the pocket will allow gas to escape and create a dangerous situation. In that case it would be safer to just get rid of it and get a new one.

I like dogs. Dogs are ok. But, when our dog ate the neighbor's chickens, she got shot.

Eating my primers, especially over 1000 of them, .... well, that is more valuable than my neighbor's chicken!

I like dogs. Dogs are ok, but dogs are still just dogs.

When you get them back---clean a few off and see if they will still fire! Who knows---maybe we will finally find a way to safely de-activate unwanted primers---just feed 'em to the dog!

give the dog some chili and go bear hunting!

Seriously though, if the dog ate primers it's retarded and its just doggie darwinism at work. they are so busy breeding these dogs for looks, they are leaving the brains out.

I agree with tha silent majority, the dog must pay.

Let go in the park and then make an anonymous phone call to homeland security that there is an "explosive dog on loose, it has been tentatively identified as Asian in origin"

Sit back and watch the show.....

My kid tried that excuse on the teacher with his

What flavor of primers had you gotten----beef, chicken, or bacon?

This has to be the funniest group of postings I have ever seen!!!!!!
Should I be concerned if my mother-in-law were to pull a box of primers of the table and eat them?
Someone stated: "That in todays political climate it could be a problem since the primers were not properly stored".
Hell, in todays political climate it could be problem if you don't "Marry and Fornicate the dog"!!!!!!!!!

Given the currently difficulty in finding primers it was my last resort. I contacted your dog told him to swallow them, bring them to me, clean them and I can use them. They were supposed to be Fed Gold Medal Match 215s tho.

Actually its supposed to be a surprise but its part of a new priming system I am designing.

I seriously want a video tape of the first time you mow the grass after this. Could be a viral video sensation. America's funniest home videos? I don't think I'd fill the mower up all the way beforehand.

Best wishes. How's the dog?

I seriously hope your dog comes out of this in full health.

On the other hand, do you think if you fed the dog some casings, bullets and powder he would produce finished cartridges?

Would he need an FFL permit of some kind to keep the BATF off his ass? Might be determined that he's a terrorist, unless he's a registered Democrat. Did he vote in the last election? Everything else did.

Good thing he didn't chew as he ate them. Seriously.

Hope the dog is ok. I'd take the lead poisoning comments above pretty seriously. That is alot of material he ate.
