I got some ACE from my vet for sedation for when I run into a Porcupine. He gave me a prescription for pills. Question is, who uses pills for this and how well do they work? The vet told me 1 pill and in 10 minuets if still unable to handle the dog I can give another pill and within 20 minutes I should be able to handle the dog. He feels that I should be able to do most quill removal with just 1 pill.
I used the proper route and went through my Vet for this medicine so I have a prescription and instructions on its use, just need some confirmation from others that use it that it works. He also told me to give benadryl or Dramamine a try.
I am hoping that as the weather cools and hunting season gets into full swing that the Porcupines are not as prolific as this past summer. Too many trips to the vet for quill removal (including yesterday with 2 dogs) to be able to enjoy hunting without worrying about Porcupines.
