I had the same thing happen years ago but my gyp let me pull them out with my leathermans tool right after it happened. Really can't hold down? Dang man, that seems like only option.

Either bunny is a term used to slip up on somebody with an either soaked rag and cover their nose n mouth till they pass out. You could also try using nitrous oxide to put him under

You might think im crazy but i had a big ridgeback dog that would reach around and bite when being worked on even with sedation. We laid him on a clothes ironing board,put a towell over him so the tape wouldnt stick to his hair and then duct taped him firmly to the baord. When the job was done we just sliced along the tape and it pulled away freely from the towell. He couldnt move a muscle and we had our hands free to work on him.

Dont own dogs if you can't afford to care for them.

The towel and duct tape should work. I've used belts and an ironing board but I bet a towel and duct tape would work better.I would use a piece if soft rope around top and bottom jaw and pull them apart and use some long needle nose pliers to pull out the quills. It might work, it's worth a try.

With all due respect, If you have money to fix whatever could be wrong with your dog at all times more power to you. We are all blue collar working men. I can't speak for him but I afford to care for my dogs which means food, water, monthly meds, house etc, but I do not allocate money for the vet. It is one of those things that I cant afford but if it happens I will find a way, and I have done it many times. That doesn't mean I should get rid of some dogs. No one knows this guys situation but him. How bout helping him out instead of tearing him down. |

Comments like this aggravate me. How can you tell another man what he can and can't own because he wants to save money or has something more important in his life going on. I've done work on my dogs, cattle, and horses since I could remember. Poor men have poor ways, but that doesn't make you any better cuz your ways differ then his  |

Sorry if it offends you guys. I did not tear anybody down nor did I disrespect anybody. All I did was simply state my opinion, just like you have done.

Everyones entitled to their opinion, that's what makes it great.
Your statement was, in the same sense, saying that if you can't afford a car or house by paying cash money, then you shouldn't own one. You're playing with borrowed money that you don't have. Same concept to a point.

When you can walk in that mans shoes and live his life, then you have the right to tell him what he can own. Your comment sounds like a typical comment from them animal rights people. A similar comment was made when my dog broke his leg. I got it fixed at a cost $1500, which i would do again. I value my dogs more than ANY human, including myself. I place their needs before my own. |

Guys I've been on this site for a few years now and have never insulted or had any issues with anyone. I think you are taking my comment way too personal. I do not have a silver spoon hanging out of my mouth or a bank account full of money. Worked for every penny Ive got just like you. I hunt and care for 9 dogs currently. Friday night I got on a rough boar. Tried to save some MONEY and did some field work myself. Evaluated the dog over the weekend and decided to take him to the vet this morning. Guess what, it wasn't in the budget but I will have to work harder this week and pay the bill. It's about responsibility and accountability. Controlling hog populations with dogs is a line of work that will sooner or later require medical attention and in my opinion its our job to be prepared to care for the dogs. I am no animal rights activist, but posts about people getting dogs banged up and not getting proper medical attention will dang sure get them stirred up. Nothing personal towards this guy, just speaking my mind.

Sorry if my opinion ruffled you too, but I said with all due respect. I can say anything I want after I say that, and you shouldnt take it to heart... or atleast that is what Ricky Bobby told me.  |

The laughter is for the ricky bobby comment. JSH, i took it personal bc like said before, a similar comment was made. You are 100% correct in that eventualy higher med treatment will be required. |
