This question is too late, I already spent $715 to get quills out of my dogs' chins. They both got into it with a poor porcupine (which I'm happy to report was fine when I extracted the stupid dogs). I chickened out and took them to the vet, who sent me to the emergency vet, to get the quills removed. Murphy had 14 quills in his chin, although the photo makes it look like less. Finn had a few more.
Murphy didn't handle the anesthesia very well, he was very cold to the touch, shivering, and cried ALL night long.
Has anybody extracted these things themselves? If this happens again (I have a feeling it will), can I do this myself?
