Beware of Slow Moving Porcupines and Fast Moving Dogs ~

Porcupines don’t move very fast and waddle to their destination. Seemingly on a journey and minding their own business when here comes a furry animal with no quills that can move rather quickly.    This furry and fast animal is scarring me so I better protect myself.  Well the rest of the story is on the dog. The quills possibly hit in the mouth, nose, tongue, cheeks, and front legs because the fast dog is trying to play or check out the porcupines. Yikes!   When this happens know the sooner the quills are removed the easier they are getting out.  The longer they remain in the dog the deeper they migrate and the harder they are to remove.   Seek veterinary medical assistance as quickly as possible for the best result for your pet.  It was traumatic enough for the slow moving porcupine and the fast moving dog, the removal of the quills is best by a veterinarian.     /http://blaisveterinaryhospital.com/
