My 2 year old Golden Retriever Buddy met up with a porcupine early tonight. He always goes with us in the truck he loves to ride..We went to a friends house and he always loves to visit as they have a dog he plays with. Usually he jumps out of the truck and is at their door quicker then a flash.
Tonight though he ran down the end of their driveway and was barking like crazy. Hubby went and got him and he had a face full of porcupine quills.
He panicked he was hollering quick get in the truck I jumped back in and poor Buddy looked horrid all in his nose all around hes muzzle ,quills I felt horrible.. luckily the vets was 5 minutes away and the one night they are open untill 8:00
$238.00 later he was quill free. They took out 47 quills he even had a few in his gums ..Plus in his front paws.. Hes doing ok just dopey from the Anesthesia
My friends are borrowing a live trap tommorow and hope to catch Mr. Porcupine and relocate him..
