Took her to the vet immediately when the one quill broke off under the skin. I was worried about infection and the quill working its way deeper and into a bad spot. It's right on the end of her snout, just barely below her nostrils.
Unfortunately the Vet sedated her, cut her open a little, and COULDN'T get the quill out. She said it would do more damage than good to keep cutting and digging. So she left it in there and said its in an OK location and should work itself out eventually. Seems odd to me. It is just a little piece of the quill but I'm still uneasy. She is on an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory to help fight of infection and pain. She seems to be her normal self tonight after recovering from the anesthesia from yesterday. We'll keep a close eye on her and keep out of field for awhile.
