Bull Terrier Vs. Porcupine

woah....CityTv is a toronto station right? if so, does that mean it happend in toronto?? >_<

The vets worked for quite some time to get quills out and even still could not get them all.

I hope that doesnt mean that these are the after pics for the operation...

AAAh. That's too painful for me.
/remembers the old "Tom and Jerry" cartoons and how Tom always ended up with something like these (but not in face )

Koyote also had these moments. Anyway, I want to see a pic of her after it got those removed.

Ouch. It seems she was rather lucky - she could have been blinded.

Sometimes I'm rather glad that I live in a country without any _too_ dangerous animals. The only wildlife we have are hedgehogs, foxes, mardens (which like to sleep under engine bonnets eating brake-hoses in the winter or battle local cats) and buzzards.

No, these aren't. According to one of the sites these pics were taken before the operation.

BTW, porcupine quills would have kept on drilling into the skin and muscle if not removed. High chance it would have pieced into the dog's brain.

Yeah, fat chance... No, I seriously doubt that, because the brain is in a tight shell of bone with only narrow and winding openings for some nerves and blood vessels - and a big one for the spinal cord... which is well-protected.

A picture is worth a thousand words so this is going into my "animals owned by porcupines" collection

I hope that dog has a quick recovery
