Jinglebob: "Had a neighbor who had one. Used it on a dog one time to get porkypine quills out of it's nose. The dog died."
We had two female dogs one time that barked up the wrong porcupine tree. They were covered with souveniers, and our feeble attempts to use pliers were just plain not working. Mrs. S and I were taking a stock trailer full of cows to the sale, so just loaded up the dogs to have the vet do the honors in quill removal. We dropped off the dogs, went to the sale, had dinner and did some errands around town. When we went to pick up the dogs, they were still woozy from being under the influence of anesthetic. We loaded them up into the back of the pickup and headed for home. Nine weeks later, one of these dogs had a litter of pups. We were thoroughly convinced that the condition occured because of date rape.
