My dog ate rubber, X-rays clear. Is it her stomach or foreign object?

Question

Hi, Ferg swallowed a piece of flat rubber ball about 1''x2.5'' a week ago. She has been asymptomatic. Xrays were taken and radiologist said there is no sign of foreign object. However, in the 1st pic, the outline seems to resemble the piece of rubber that was ingested. Is that the stomach? Am I overreacting? Also are there other anomalies shown on the Xray? Thank you for your time. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 1 month old | 55 lbs

I see what you’ve circled in you picture but I think it looks more like a fold in the stomach, especially when you look at the other x-ray view. I would trust the radiologist - if Fergie starts to show symptoms of a gastric foreign body then you might want to have an ultrasound performed.
