I hurt just looking at that photo.
Glad Bella is much better.

If you think about it back in days of yore, or of course even today for that matter, without human intervention this would be a death sentence for the porcupine's target who'd be unable to eat and would die a slow, agonizing, and frightful death.
Like our economy.

Oh my!! My dog Otis got it from a porcupine when we were
in Queechee,VT. Had to go under general anesthesia to
have them removed,but nothing like that! WOW!
Thank goodness for the emergency veterinary clinics that
exist.

The porcupine must be naked.

500 quills? That’s just the ‘thing’ to write the great American novel.

Poor baby!! The article didn’t mention anything about poor Bella’s sight so it must be okay. Poor poochie looks like a cactus!
To: Daffynition
I wonder if some of those quills are in Bella’s eyes. There are so many quills I don’t see how the eyes wouldn’t get them, too.
That picture makes me hurt.

There was a vet show a while back I found interesting called “Dr Pol” Guess it wasn’t picked up. I liked it because it showed some of the more interesting vet situations in a farm county.
He said he did this (porcupine) at least once a week. On one episode, he had the SAME dog come back same week, even worse. Dumb dog.

The porcupine impaled all three dogs, but Bella took the brunt of the attack I'm shaking my head as I question this, what seems to be, a PC commentary.
This story wants to make a person believe that 3 pooches were just roaming around, minding their own business and the mean old porcupine waylaid them all, instead of these 3 hooligans found this porcupine taking a breather from the heat near some water when this pack jumped him. Now the perpetrators are the victims.
Having said that, I do feel sorry for the little guy but I have a feeling he was the instigator ;)

When we lived in Alaska, porcupines killed many dogs every year. The quills in the dogs face continues to migrate deeper, if in the nostrils or eyes, often going right into the brain.
When the porcupine quills go in, one hardly feels them, pain is later when the skin and flesh becomes infected.
I have had quills in my leg over an inch deep and no bother until later that night. Extracting the barbed quills is no fun.

Don’t bring fur to a quill fight.
I’ve been lucky with my three dogs. Hope Bella recovers and remembers.
