  Oh No! Porky Quills! by T. J. Dunn, Jr. DVM How to remove porcupine quills from a dog. What to do when an encounter takes place.

  If you ever see a dog with a face full of porcupine quills it is truly something you'll never forget... and neither does the dog! Well, most dogs. A few years ago I saw the same dog three Saturdays in a row to remove porcupine quills. He must have found a good feeding area for porkies and thought he could get even with them somehow. He learned the hard way.

  Removing porcupine quills from a dog can be as simple as gripping a quill with your thumb and finger and pulling. On the other hand it just may be a long drawn out affair under anesthesia in the veterinarian's office. I recall many late night emergency calls with the frantic voice on the line wondering how long it would take me to get to the clinic to help a distressed dog with a mouthful of porcupine quills.

  Porcupine quills do not have barbs at their ends, and only rarely will actually migrate through the dog's tissues. The points of the quills are extremely sharp and stiff and under the microscope actually appear as if they have scales or

  A porcupine eats bark and other vegetable matter... but does NOT shoot its quills.

  Sure hope the Doctor is in!

  A gentle and easy-going creature, the porcupine seeks safety in trees when threatened.

  Home Removal of Porky Quills:
  If your dog only has a few quills and you are certain that there are none in the mouth or throat, you can remove quills at home fairly easily. The first thing to do is to get a pair of pliers, then something to cover the dog's eyes so it doesn't see those pliers approaching. Cover the dogs eyes with your hand if necessary, speak softly and don't act frantic or you will freak your dog out even worse! With the dog's eyes covered, bring the pliers up to a quill and grab the quill firmly and close to the skin. The dog will jerk backward and will separate himself from the quill. Sometimes you can grab more than one quill at a time, too. If the dog will be cooperative, coax it to accept your next attempt at removing more quills and eventually you may be able to remove a number of them. You may have to give the dog a break for a few minutes, too, between rounds of quill pulling.

  Remember, if there are a large number of quills or if there are a number deep in the mouth, your dog deserves the benefits of anesthesia at the veterinarian's office. If there are only a few, you can certainly try removal at home.

  Porcupines are quiet, amusing little creatures who simply want to be left alone. They do not shoot or eject their quills but will swipe their tails swiftly and leave a bunch of needle like quills in whatever the tail happens to touch. When threatened tiny erector muscles in the skin will make the hundreds of quills over the back "stand up" in defense. Any dog, coyote or wolf that dives in thinking an easy meal awaits makes a startling discovery! If the eyes or throat are affected by the quills, the canine is in real trouble. Left untreated, as happens in the wild, the quills will eventually create festering and oozing and eventually the quill may be rubbed or scratched out. The danger to the victim, though, is very real.
