To remove one quill on a female blue tick we used vise grips and all the force we and the dog could stand. After 3-4 days of tugging with not a single budge the shoulder area surrounding the quill became very infected. 6-8 weeks passed and the skin, flesh, and muscle basically rotted away and allowed the quill and all the infected mass to be removed leaving quiet the hole. A few short weeks we lost her to the infection. This pit must be a haus to be able to survive this, and hats off to its vet...!! Any chance to get a number to this dogs vet?

From experience bear and hog hunting any porcupine attack on a dog that can achieve a good quill stick to the mouth area can cause the dog extreme pain and in allot of cases a single quill will keep the animal from eating resulting in the animal starving itself to death. The infections to dogs from a single stick are usually enough to make the animal very sick at the very least and in allot of cases result in death if not given antibiotics.
