I found this story on another forum I'm on... sorry if it's a repost but I couldn't find it anywhere. CAUTION the pictures are graphic
----------------------------------
Somewhere out there is a naked Porcupine.
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.
It was pretty scary at first. 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.
here are still quills buried in her, but they should work their way
out over time (I pulled four more today). She is on antibiotics and
pain meds and thankfully is doing quite well.

All I can say is, I hope the dog is ok!
