i can afford my dogs. but not an outrageous vet bill, if i can avoid it i will which is why i asked for help. i will choose to bite my tongue and accept any advice or guidance as i am young and dont know too much. but the negativity has no place here all i asked for was help, not your judgement of me

I just had a run in with a porcupine a few weeks ago. This was a first for me. Lionandboarhunter and hillcountry showed me an easy way to get the quills out of the dogs mouth. They simply took a 20oz coke bottle and opened the dogs mouth and put the cap end of the bottle in the back of the mouth so the top and bottom molars could bite on that. The coke bottle held the mouth open and just a little bit of pressure kept the dog from spitting the coke bottle out. I think the strapping the dog down along with the coke bottle trick and u will be in business. If u are doing it by yourself u might try a piece of 3/4 pvc pipe run across the left and right side molars and then tied back. Hopefully u get them out ok. Here is a pic of my dog about half way into the quill pulling. wish i would have thought to get a pic of the coke bottle deal. It was simple but made a world of difference...  |

Don't get caught up in the job and forget the dog. It's helped me when doctoring dogs to talk to em almost like they are a person. Sounds funny and you might laugh, but you'll be surprised how well your dog responds and calms down once you start talking to it.

I always heard to cut the tips of the quills off and they'll just slide right out? Anyone know if its true?

Dang, rough deal inside mouth. My gyp just had them all over her muzzle. She came trotting up to me like ..... Dang, what the heck was that? Help me out here. I just put her between my legs, got out the leathermans and went to work. She didn't fight at all and it only took about 5 minutes. I got lucky I guess.

Yall are sensitive.
If you don't have the money or knowledge to fix your dogs this sport might be for you. Is that better ?
To the original poster, the above is not a jab at you. You will run into all sorts of problems hunting. Read a vet Manuel,they are very helpful.
Chloroform- I have heard it all now.
