RE: Question - lead shot in dogs
This is not a medical or scientific opinion, but I had a GSP that got "Cheneyed" and continued to be a fine hunter until he was 11 yrs.old. Then he partially retired and finally passed on at 14 1/2. it was explained pretty much the same as it was explained to you that if the shot remained in soft tissue it should cause no problem. Hope this helps you worry a little less. I never knew who hit my dog, it was during the time we had "Put and Take" hunting in Mich.
