I don,t think so.My niece sent me that pic.I bet he was sore for some time and the porcupine will probably feel the cold for a while.Had to share it.I can't believe the dog didn't realise to stop attacking the porcupine after the first 20 or so quills.
already been around... but....
"Inca apparently did not know when to quit when she encountered the
porcupine on Victoria Day, May 23rd. These are the pictures the vet
sent before the long (and expensive) procedure to remove the quills.
She had thousands of quills, and her tongue was so covered, she could
not close her mouth.
She is doing okay now, but looks like a World War III survivor as they had to cut some
out in places, stitched between her toes, and many quills bled on removal.
There are still quills buried in her, but they should work their
way out over time. She is on antibiotics and
pain meds and thankfully is doing quite well. Maybe she was showing off
for her new boyfriend, Rocky"
