I had a dog who got a mouthful of baby porcupine quills, which are the worst because they're smaller, finer and sharper than adult quills. There was no way at the time to get him to a vet, so I gave him the maximum safe dose of acepromazine, he calmed down enough to let me get at them and that was that.<br /><br />Also it's always recommended to see a vet even if you think you've gotten them all, since all it takes is one missed quill to cause infection and further misery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-59500907296916746572011-08-30T10:02:06.712-04:002011-08-30T10:02:06.712-04:00the porcupine story is amazing.

At any rate, I'm glad that it was only a summer hiatus caused by the seasonal 'digging for dollars' and setting up the daunting 'Facebook' business.<br /> <br /> I enjoy your in depth study of the various subjects, going with 'what comes up' - that adds to the variety. Having 'been there' on many subjects, I'm right back in the early '70's, with the dog backed into the corner with his head through my knees and the 5 year old crying that I was hurting him as I managed to get 3 quills extracted in 5 tries - having had the 'piercing the brain' talk from Les the last time he had done it. One time the foolish canine had a huge amount of quills, lots of sedative, and the vet couldn't be certain he got them all. By the time he went to his reward after a stretch of failing kidneys, we were well into X-C ski meets requiring weekend travelling with no stay at home child, and we have not ventured into dog ownership since.<br /> <br /> Keep it up as long as it 'works for you' - and I don't mean making it feel like work! lizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-68960151209698957872011-08-13T17:11:39.744-04:002011-08-13T17:11:39.744-04:00HG, TOOOOO funny!
