Take them to the vet...otherwise you will do more harm then good
Our hunting dog took 37 quills a couple years back....the vet was the only way to go and got her ship-shape. |

| take it to the vet. I think the quills are meant to go deeper if you try to pull them out. they're like certain fish hooks |

| Phone a ing vet. They will usually help you over the phone, and tell you the proper procedure, and whether or not you need to bring it in or not. |

| yeah id fone the vet. apparently pocupine quills are shaped so that when your muscles move, the quill will dig in deeper. and i think they can rip and damage muscle and flesh if you try and rip it out |
