Quoted:
Porcupine: Fat, slow, noisy,waddling and doesn't give a shit about anything.DOG: Intensely interested in anything smelly that moves. somehow, DOG managed to kill about 20 pounds of porcupine, and then dragged it home. She was real smart about it, used the gravel driveway to break off a lot of quills, but still has a few left in her face. She wants to keep her new piercings, any good trick for holding dog down for quill removal ? Dog is 99 pound rottweiller, is impervious to valium, and passionately HATES pliers. Check her mouth. She may need to be put under to get them out. I've gone through this three times. |

Damn, that sucks. I thought it was bad when my dog met a skunk for the first time but a face full of quills would be terrible.

Vet time. As another said, she may have some lodged in her mouth and may need to be put under. Quill pieces left behind can also abcess, which is a whole 'nother unsavory set of problems.

Advice is solid, my grandfather only called the vet for coonhounds when they got it in the mouth. Otherwise my dad would hold them down while he worked the pliers. Always hated it but there wasn't many better options I suppose.

They will make her sleepy and pull all those suckers out with no conscious pain. Even more important you want to avoid stressing her with attempted home treatment. |

Any of them can kill him, but the ones in the mouth can do it much faster.
My current dumbass of a dog got one in this throat that paralyzed his vocal cord and he sounds like has laryngitis when he barks. |

I have been in this exact situation several times right down to the breed of dog. It can't be done with 100% certainly that you got them all without drugs.
I am a farmer and have Xilazine in the fridge for this shit you probably have to call the vet. Wake him up if you have to. they work in not out so the longer you wait the deeper they get. ETA If your dog is anything like mine you will only have to do this once. He wont fuck with a porcupine again. |

She is a great dog, but unfortunately not a smart one..
3rd encounter with porcupine. .After number TWO, I said I was not taking her to vet again. THIS porcupine was huge, over 20 pounds. She killed it, dragged it all the way home, left a long trail of quills, and porcupine skin chunks along the driveway. large kill zone, weeds all packed down, quills and blood. She got it flipped over, ripped out throat, chest zone for kill. Miraculously, only had 5 quills in her. Wife found old copy of book " Rottweillers for Dummies" we tried the tourniquet trick: tied a pair of nylon leggings tight around muzzle, and back over back of head. I sat on dog, wife used pliers, extraction was success. Dog is happy, seems to have forgotten the whole ordeal. |
