I used to have a husky who would tangle with the porcupines every so often but he'd only wind up with a half dozen or a dozen quills. They are incredibly hard to pull out. We tried once - they're almost like having a hook stuck in you. We wound up taking him to the vet to have them removed. From what I understand they will actually work the way in over time and that's when they can really do some damage. My husky didn't seem to learn either - got hit several different times. Our other dogs never had a problem with them. They are kinda cute though - the porcupines. |
