Did you know porcupine breeding season is in the fall? This means there are more porcupines out, even during daytime hours. We have seen an increase of patients with porcupine quills recently.
If your pet tangles with a porcupine, don't try to remove quills at home, removing quills is extremely painful and they can break off under the skin.
Give us a call immediately, our team will sedate, remove the quills and start your pet on pain medication and antibiotics to ensure a safe, comfortable recovery.
