Removing Porcupine Quills - Porcupine Attack - Vet Required

Removing Porcupine Quills - Porcupine Attack
Welcome to Standing Stone Kennels! In this video, Piper had a run-in with a porcupine. With over 300 quills throughout her whole body, we needed professional veterinary care. Porcupine incidents are very common with hunting dogs and can often be taken care of on the tailgate, but this was not one of those situations. Follow along to see how well Piper did with this procedure.

I had a Timber Wolf / German Sheppard mix that was actually the neighbor's dog that hung around our house. Every year he would come to me with a nose full of quills, tail between his legs. He would lay down and wait. My two brothers (big boys) would sit on him, and I would yank one out with the needle nose pliers. We would all jump clear, as he came up in full fight mode (he was 100+ pounds). In a few seconds he would stop, wage his tail and lay down so we could do the next one. He never bit us. He never fought us. He knew he needed help. He knew it would suck, but he trusted us to do it. Truly amazing, considering he adopted us.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Wild story.

[@willj1598]

Poor girl, thank goodness for anesthesia. They're always so optimistic thinking this is the time they will beat the porcupine.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Yes this one really needed the vets help.

[@Holly-xd8ms]

Finally a vet that doesn't cut quills!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching

[@candyhunter4262]

I read somewhere that it’s best to cut the quills 🤔 please note I am in no way a professional in the veterinary area of any kind,this is just something I read/saw on KZbin 😊

[@amaniiexxchnge]

These r always so scary but I can’t help but chuckle for the dogs who do this multiple times they never seem to learn the first time round.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They want revenge lol

[@TheRealBambihooves]

That hen squawk startled the heck out of me lol 😆

[@allycook3926]

Great to hear an Aussie vet! We know about protecting your dogs in the heat.

[@Beautifully_Broken]

I wish she didn’t bend them, before pulling, & breaking soooo many!

[@NerinaRSA]

Beautiful dog

[@lisaelliott8721]

Thanks for posting. I usually question what I hear/see in videos on KZbin BUT hearing information from the veterinarian was awesome. I have heard the thing about cutting the tips off to make it easier to remove and I’m glad the Vet addressed that. Great video.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching

[@taistanback2054]

What’s the answer Re: cutting the barbs?

[@lauravalentine6804]

Everyone should see this video!!!!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching!

[@klappy803]

That sucks. At the end of the day I still think the dogs are tougher than we are.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

They are 100 percent! Thanks for watching :)

[@allday4975]

Pretty dog

[@davemanone3661]

Poor sweet doggy, that'll learn ya!

[@muffy469]

My teacher had a dog just like that, and omg it's powerful dogs. Our class was on a weekend skiing trip in the mountains and i got to tie the dog around my waist to pull me and for like 6 hours on the way to the cabin we'd take turns letting her pull us and she never seemed to get tired haha

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@cenccenc946]

ouch. Pulled a lot of quills out of my dogs over the years, but never more than about a dozen in the nose at one time. I now live in south america. no quills to deal with. Just the yearly visit from the local skunk.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

You have been luckier than us!

[@suzette1044]

Why obscure the vet working with the written commentary? Very disappointing ☹️ Otherwise, very good video. So glad this dog’s owner brought him in for professional treatment.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching

[@DeathPrevails77713]

Thank you for NOT yanking the quills out yourself and providing her proper care with a vet. I saw a video years ago where the owners didn't want or care to take their dogs to the vet because it was about 30 minutes away and were yanking them out without the dog being sedated.

[@ronblackburn3683]

Woefully experienced with porcupines. Some dogs just can’t resist them.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

100 percent. You can’t do anything about it just take care of the pups when it happens…

[@dscottgillett]

That breaks my heart.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

100 percent.

[@redfisher5378]

Man that’s brutal to watch. I was so over cautious with my girl this year fearing the same thing would happen. Piper’s a tough girl!11

[@racheldye1298]

That was hard to watch!! I am paranoid about them and rattlers!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Totally agree. Thanks for watching!

[@izamaciuch8626]

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@johnmeye]

😲no contest

[@24865943]

Brutal

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not fun at all…

[@Heardofbaseball-oj8gm]

Omg poor girl it’s going to hurt when she wakes up😰

[@janicetribbiani7535]

Why are they so hard to remove? Are they barbed on the ends? It looks so painful. 😢

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Yes they are..

[@brueggemanate]

Can you share the name of this vet clinic. If this happens to my dog would like to know a good vet to go to. Thanks

[@StandingStoneKennels]

This was the local vet in Winner SD. Just find the closest option to you for this!

[@LayaTetai]

Eat kinas stay safe.😂😂

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

[@valdineiarocha5257]

Omg

[@brandonlee1983]

get your hair out of the way so we can see the procedure 🤣🤣 I'm totally kidding you did a wonderful job fixing up this poor guy 🙏

[@AxelFoley0]

perro loco

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Very prey driven!

[@deedee5497]

Gsp's are something else 🤦‍♀️🤣

[@22s22a]

Ah what point as a dog.. do you pause and think,,,hmm maybe i should stop doing this???

[@adellea.dimalanta3113]

I wonder why they didn’t flip the dog on it’s other side to check for more

[@HankDaHorse]

Ouch! Good thing my dog (pure hunter) never did that!

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Not fun!!

[@user-hp7qg5mp9f]

😅

[@StandingStoneKennels]

I know - it sucks every time!

[@SheLikes]

How much does something like this cost without insurance

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Farm vet in South Dakota charged 350 including the emergency fee.. so we got off east IMO.

[@lisaelliott8721]

@@StandingStoneKennels, you got off SO FREAKING EASY!!!1/11/23 at 11 pm, $1659.89 for quill removal. This guys second visit to vet and fourth go around with porcupine. Vet bill for previous rendezvous…$1164 Your vet is a gem to come in on call for under $500

[@jazzbo9903]

You guys are the best. I was crying because I felt so bad for her. I hope she doesn’t go after another porcupine.🙏🏽

[@Seasheasells]

Recently had 2 dogs get into trouble. I minor 30-40 shes sweet and docile. She let us get them out one at a time. Other one not so much. Probly as bad as this dog but not in her legs or feet. $1000

[@northeastoperations]

Would you not put the huge text right in the way? Who edited this?

[@Pandilla61]

Everything about watching quills being pulled from the dogs mouth was going great until you posted yoiur words on the screen and blocked us from watching the rest of the quills being removed. Very disappointing.

[@howardcraigiv518]

Curious girl just had to get her self a smell but instead got a face and mouth full of quills.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

She wanted all the smells!

[@SamGemdzhi]

Неплохо было бы просветить собаку на предмет обломанных кончиков !

[@TheFlyingFatMan]

Yikes. Hopefully my dogs never...

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Us as well!

[@Valdineiarocha-kd9me]

😂😂😂

[@sonsam2360]

Mengganggu tulisannya

[@sidb9540]

I had a very hard time watching this...WTF was the owner doing here??? that POOR POOR DOGGO!

[@deedee5497]

Have you ever met a gsp? 😂

[@taylorsantoro9146]

Hope she didn’t charge you per quill lol

[@citizencoy4393]

Covers best parts with huge word that could have gone at bottom of screen smh.

[@rinnanan]

too cruel

[@ricardoaiken3549]

This is sad

[@amiigaf4476]

Porcupine "attack" Sure sure, not porcupine "defence" i see

[@noahbolokoski993]

A prime example of why I shoot every porcupine that I see in the pheasant release sites where I hunt at in Canada.

[@StandingStoneKennels]

I hear that!

[@22s22a]

Because your dogs are stupid?

[@jackstar7204]

Why? They're just defending themselves?

[@adamantturner5019]

This is great animal husbandry. Maybe it's time to trap porcupines on your own property.

[@jangbabang]

too slow to remove it

[@kp5518]

Why don't you go back 30 feet so we see better video

[@user-vw9wv4zd8j]

같이좀 뽐아라 가만히 있지말고

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

[@user-vw9wv4zd8j]

머리좀 묵고하세요

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for watching.

[@user-ci7wm6jk4z]

Cannot see remove your hair and please do not write over operation. Please

[@rickysmyth]

Everyone else would just do it themselves, and instead of using anesthetic they use the hold it down method. Saves $300 or whatever

[@canigetahoooyyyaaaaa7319]

How would you like if someone held you down without anesthesia which this dog didn’t have. It had light sedation. Other wise it would be intubated. (You dumb fuck) and have your teeth pulled out. One by one. Or how about you fall on a cactus and you are forced to endure the pain of removing each spine, one by one. Do you wanna test your theory out? Didn’t think so.

[@boonya1000]

Thank you for this program. But your hair gets in the way a lot, whether we are looking at this youtube or working on for yourself. I hope you could tie your hair up. from japan

[@StandingStoneKennels]

Thanks for the suggestion.
