Found a good remedy for the smell, worked GREAT.
1 cup peroxide
1/2 cup baking soda
Few table spoons of Dawn soap.
Mix, and use immediately. Let it sit on em' for a little bit and rinse. I was AMAZED at how well it worked, took the smell right off.
I bathed them in that mixture, then with just Dawn and let it sit also. After that was done, I bathed them in an oatmeal dog shampoo. No more smell on em', except there is a lingering smell in the house.

Porcupines are not that bad unless the dog has taken a quill in the eye or deep in the nose, then it is a emergency vet visit.
Porcupine quills are hollow and have air inside them, snip off the ends with a wire cutter, they deflate, the barbs relax and you can easily yank with pliers.
Just try holding a 120 lbs Lab down to do it though!

Dogs amaze me at the amount of pain they can endure.
My black and white pit/terrier mix has been kicked, trampled, scraps with strays, so many times she shouldn't be alive right now. Typical woman....
Lets turn this into "my dog shouldn't be alive because....."

Sorry to hear that, it's always hard to put a dog down. IMO, it's mostly due to their lack of control and helplessness when it comes to that time. They don't know or understand what is going on (for the most part), and that seems to make it even harder on people, I think. It makes me wish for nothing more than 5 seconds be able to speak their language, and tell them how much they were loved and will be missed.

My collie used to get sprayed by skunks, tomato juice was a good remedy to kill the effects of the odor.
She also got quilled a couple of times. It didn't take her long to realize that the pain from removing the quills was less severe than the quills in her snout.
Either way, what a PITA.
