Think your dog has earned a spot but isn't on this list? PLEASE EMAIL
US!
There
are five ways to qualify for the Porcupine Hall of Fame:
- More
than one SEVERE level quilling. Severe quillings usually require general
anesthesia and or multiple quill pullers.
- Five
or more quill removals, minor (usual) or moderate in severity.
- The
quilling requires a trip to a referral hospital.
- Quills
in unusual locations, IE. if the dog "humped" a porcupine!
- Most
unique (honorable mention) as voted on by Pet Kare Doctors.
The
Hall of Fame is no joke. Ranging from $250 to $1000 per incident, these
dogs have truly earned their place in the list. If you are one of the
unlucky guardians of an animal on this list, at least you're in good
company.... and it could be worse....
5-03-09:
Ducati just moved to Colorado and quickly joined the Porcupine Hall
of Fame. We gave him honorable mention for the intensity with which
he embraced his first ever porcupine quilling! Here's what he looked
like after we removed all life threatening chest and neck quills:


With
Ducati under deep sedation,
it
took two people 1 hour of non-stop quill pulling to remove the quills
from his face and mouth!
Honorable
Mention Found online - it always could have been worse!

This
was not at our hospital, thank god!
