No, he didn't get it after the xray.
He was not under any type of anesthesia or sedative. I'll call his vet first thing in the morning to ask. I'm just worried that he's throwing up, and I can't find the #*%& battery. |

He's not really sick, he's not acting sick. He's fine before he throws up and fine after. Weird.
Last night I found a piece of stuffy something in his throw up, I thought that might have been the problem. But tonight, he threw up again and I didn't find anything unusual, just his kibble. Oh wait, I did find a stink bug. So tonight, I looked all over again for the battery and seriously can't find it. He had to have swallowed it. I don't know what to think now

It might be in your couch. My couch eats things. Seriously - We have lost remotes &
cell phones inside of the couch - not between cushions, like inside the linings of the couch. (I hate that couch.) Glad Spirit is OK. He is probably rolling his eyes at you thinking, "Geez Mom, I'm not stupid enough to eat a battery."

xrays are NOT definitive for many things. But for a battery, then yes they should clearly show that. If you believe your dog ate a battery, take him in ASAP. If it is recent enough (2-4 hours) they may be able to induce vomiting and save the hassle of further diagnostics/treatments

Have a look at this - batteries are very very obvious
 Guess the only thing is if it was still on it's way to the stomach when he was x-rayed, I'm not sure how long it takes to travel that far  Google Image Result for http://www.sciencephoto.com/image/133596/350wm/C0070594-Swallowed_battery,_X-ray-SPL.jpg |

I am wondering what Mooch said - you were there quickly - did the battery have time to get to an area where it could be seen on x-ray?
I am merging this with the previous thread so people know what has happened. What to Do if Your Pet Ingests Batteries | Petfinder is an article that might help. Sorry too, that the wind scared him. Hate reading that kind of thing for our GSDs.
