Been there and it was 200x worse than that. I hate porcupines…

Sorry to see it happen to your pup!

Grrrr...4 Trump bills required.

Ya, thats about how bad my black mouth cur was. Maybe even worse than that. It was horrible and he damn near died from the infection.

The poor pup died about 9 months later. Vet did his best but couldn’t get all of the quills. I’m guessing they migrated.

Huck pointed two covies of Huns on our walk back to the truck. Killed two doubles over him. I raced him to the birds so he didn’t try to pick up with a mouth full of quills. I had worked on him for a half hour before we left. He wouldn’t let me pull anymore quills.

Once a dog figures out what pliers are used for its game over.
I would clip the quills first, its releases the pressure within making them easier to pull.
That said..." easier" doesnt mean much.
My 100 lb Malamute from years ago would not be wrestled.

I pulled 4 or 5 quilts out of my dogs nasal cavity and snout MONTHS after the incident.

They would just randomly surface and I would slowly pull the out with my leatherman.

Porcupine encounters with dogs are simply terrible. I hate those little bastards.
Sorry to hear about your dog.

Pulled a dozen or so out of the soft nose tissue of one of our horses a few years ago. Amazingly, she just stood there and let us do it.
