OUCHHHHH! I would be in hysterics if this were my boy.

I got this photo in an e-mail, unbelievable!

 

oohh that looks bad! thatdog must have been very hard headed and thick skinned!

 

Oh poor baby, that looks really painful.

 

are you sure that pic hasnt been altered, that just looks so unreal

 

I've seen it before and always wondered that myself.

 

Ive lost count of how many dogs and cats Ive worked with, sedated or in some cases had to put completely under anaesthesia to get cacti needles out of them, obviously they are difficult to handle as anywhere you touch them they react, some yelping or screaming (not all though), it can take a couple of hours, they usually do okay with antibiotics, sometimes pain killers and lots of TLC.

 

:shock: OMG that made me cringe!! Looks like a bullterrier under there, huh? Tough little booger.

 

owwwwwwwwwww that poor baby. It's so sad, just makes me want to grab the poor dog, love it up and take care of it. :m13:

 

God I hope his eyes are ok!
Darn terriers just don't stop once they get after something.

 

I don't know. I've seen that photo before and looks real to me. I know like humans, once pain is felt endorphines take over so its possible it just kept after it...

But wher ever and whatever, theres a naked porkupine somwhere!!!

 

LOL Sams @ naked porcupine...I was thinking the same. But check this link out, it's pretty interesting.

PS. I believe the photo is real. I have heard similar stories of dogs and porcuines on the Catahoula board. I also got a dose of what some catahoula people think of the porcupine...around their places the porcupine better stear clear!
