A few nights ago as I exited my back door with my dog for his last walk of the night he darted for the bushes, unable to get him out right away I see a black and white thing flung out and recognized the smell and it right away. My dog got sprayed that has been dealt with mostly with a few baths. My problem now is that the skunk is outside my house nightly, driving my dog nuts. Tonight when I walked him we ran into it again in a neighbors front yard, luckily I was able to pull my dog away in time.
The skunk is very young, probably 8-10 inches with it's tail raised, rather cute I must say. I'm not sure of a skunks maternal habits but it's either just out of the creche or the mother abandoned it. If I attempt to remove the skunk using a humane trap will I kill it by placing it in an unknown environment? How do I even do this without getting myself sprayed and stinking up whatever vehicle I move it in? I know where the skunk lives, is there anything I can do to make it move elsewhere?
