Let’s here it for porcupines!
“A ShitBull succumbed to his injuries after a run-in with a porcupine in rural New Jersey.
Chester, a 9-year-old Shitbull-mix, encountered the animal during the early morning hours of Sept. 2 in the backyard of his owner’s Sussex County home, according to NJ.com.
“We saw him running and barking, so we ran down the deck, but it was too late,” 22-year-old Miranda DeGennaro, the dog’s owner, told the outlet.
“I could hear him crying,” family member Brenda DeGennaro told WABC.
Miranda DeGennaro believed Chester attacked the porcupine, she told NJ.com, leaving him with dozens of quills piercing his face, chest and paws.
The family brought him to a local veterinarian who removed many of the quills, but had to take him to a specialist afterward to attempt to remove quills that had migrated further inside the dog’s chest, according to a Sept. 3 Facebook post from Miranda DeGennero.
“The quills are barbed, so they only travel in one direction so you cannot pull them out yourself, and once they get deep into the skin it’s more concerning with them migrating deeper inside of their body instead of their body rejecting them out,” she wrote.
“The vet said that she actually had his heart in his hand and she was pulling quills out of the lining of his heart,” Brenda DeGennaro told WABC.”
