My new Shiba Inu (1 yr old) dog chewed a mechanical pencil

I've only had my dog for about a week now and I have been gradually giving her access to more of the house. She has a crater which she stays in during the day but I've been leaving the gate open so she can go out into several rooms while I'm at work. Well, I missed a mechanical pencil - she chewed it up pretty good - she is aacting fine now though...do you think I should take her to vet or just watch symptoms?

Thanks guys

How long ago did she eat it? Did it, uh, pass? I'd probably take her to the vet to be safe. There's all kinds of sharp edges on one of those things, especially all chewed up. I hope everything ends up ok.

I would take her to the vet for a check up too. Just to be safe. Let us know how she is!! :D

I actually deleted "I hope everything comes out ok" in lieu of what I put in the post!
well she chewed it up but most of the pieces were still there - I was most worried about the lead - but thanks to you guys found out it was graphite...she pooped (!) a few times after I got home - I will check!!
Will keep you posted on my mischievous monster...she also loves to chew on paper - can't leave any magazines out!!!
