My dog got skunked!


Question Posted Monday November 7 2005, 8:47 pm

Omg, my dog got skunked! I got home from dance and me and my mom found out she got skunked after my dad let her outside. From the looks of it, she got sprayed right in the face, and she's pacing around, because she doesn't know what to do. It smells more like rotten onions rather than a skunk. Me and my mom could smell the skunk when we got home. I feel so bad for her. We don't know what to do. Is there anything we can do. We're going to try to get her a bath at Petsmart as soon as possible, so don't suggest a bath, it's already being done. Ok thanks!!!!

I have used this product, like a shampoo, that gets rid of the smell. My dog has been skunked a total of 2 times and my mom used something from the local pet store- it worked! You should browse a Petco sometime and find something (sorry, I don't know the name of it). Hopefully, if this was the first time your dog was sprayed, he/she will learn the lesson and not get involved with skunks anymore.

tomato sauce. you need to pour tomato sauce on your dog in a sort of, "tomato-sauce-bath". It may sound weird, but that's what you need to do. hope I helped!

I believe that you should dump tomato juice on your dog. Not only is it fun, it should help remove the horrible onion smell (onion..ick...) Or if you wanted (and I doubt you do) you can spray your dog black and then put a white stripe down his back. Instant smelly dog-like skunk. I think you should use the tomato juice.

Um I know how bad that can smell lol so I took the liberty of looking it up for you and I found this:

1. Mix 4 c. hydrogen peroxide with 4 tbsp. baking soda and 1 tsp. dish-washing soap.

2. Put cotton balls in your pet's ears to protect the inner-ear tissue from the cleaning mixture, which could easily drip in.

3. Don rubber gloves to protect your hands during this process.

4. Start with your pet's head, taking care not to get the solution into his eyes, ears or mouth. Apply a drop of olive or baby oil to his eyes to prevent irritation.

5. Rub the mixture evenly into your pet's coat. It will probably be more pleasant to do this outdoors.

6. Rinse the coat with clean water.

7. Repeat if the smell persists.

TIPS---

Tomato juice also neutralizes the effects of skunk odor. Rub it into your pet's fur, let it soak for approximately 15 minutes, then wash it off with water.

Commercially prepared skunk odor remover or douches that remove skunk scents from fur are also available. Ask your veterinarian for advice on which product works best.

To help prevent your pet from being sprayed, use a leash when in the woods or country.

WARNINGS
Skunks can carry rabies, so make sure your pet's vaccinations are current before you visit areas frequented by skunks.

Thats what the website said


BUT**** I have heard that a bottle of SKUNK OFF from the vet or the pet store works the best because users have said that the peroxide mix can bleach your pets fur and that tomato juice is useless


I hope I helped in someway! Good Luck, Light A lot of candles! lol
