Wait, you have a soother sucking Doberman and you never told me? I have been so tempted everytime I see this thing but wondering whose dog is using this item, surely cannot be Dobes!
Poor Albert! Darn porcupines....
It amazes me the number of people that feel their dogs can poop anywhere and not pick it up. It’s usually the tourists that I see doing this the most. I also see them allowing their dogs to pee on people’s grass which is bad because the urine most times will kill the grass.
Oooo, baby, have someone cut that grass for hay!! LOL! Looks as lovely as Tara!
I read years ago in a book that porcupine quills had to be pulled inward through the flews if that's where they are – because of a barb on the quills? It is better to remove it the same direction it went in?? I don't know if this is true, but I be Jan can tell us.Oh, Albert!!That looks so painful! And removing can be just as painful. Maybe more with the barbed points. Did they have to put him out @JanS ? I'm grateful we don't have those here. Skunks are bad enough!
He's totally back to normal - thanks for asking.
Yes, it was heavy sedation that isn't as much as for surgery, but it still takes them 20 - 30 minutes to wake up again. At least he got a free nail trim while they were bringing him out of it.
No they come out from the other direction (we just pulled them out forward from his snout), unless they're all the way through a lip or something. It's easiest to get them right away and they pull right out, but the longer they're in, the deeper they embed.
