whatcan i use to wash my cat he was sprayed on by shunk?

Question

need home remedy to wash my cat he was sprayed on by a shunk

Answer 1

Tomato Juice The vet has something that works very good

Answer 2

I have a different answer than the old tomato juice remedy. I used to have an incredibly dumb Cocker Spaniel who never learned about skunks. She was sprayed at least 4 times. The best thing I found was powdered massengill douche. Mix the powder in warm water just a little stronger than it recommends for its regular use. Pour it on and the smell is GONE. I am totally serious about this. Dont use the pre-mixed. It has to be the powder. Good luck!

By the way I hope your cat is up on its rabies shots. Skunks are a common carrier!

Answer 3

. 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. Although sometimes this does not work

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.

Answer 4

Bathing in tomato juice is generally regarded as being effective. I have friends who had a poodle who could never mind his business. Stanley was forever challenging the skunks, but he never learned from his mistakes. His owners used to keep tomato juice on hand at all times.

However, you know what cats are like when it comes to bathing them. I wish you all the best of luck. If you have old gloves that don't care about, wear them because Fluffy might try to shred your hands in the process.

I am attaching links for more information. If the cat was sprayed in the face, pay close attention to the directions, attached. Good luck.

Answer 6

tomato juice.

otherwise, take it to a groomer and have your cat shaved, I'm serious. that will get most of the smell off, wash the cat in tomato juice (less the fur) till the residual smell goes away, then give it a normal bath. wrap it in a big thick towel so it doesn't run away, and cuddle it - take a nap to calm it.

By the time it wriggles free, it will be dry and less stinky (and plucked - pissed that you had it shaved, probably won't stop meowing). It will live & hopefully know better than to mess with a skunk next time.

Answer 7

Tomato juice will help get rid of the smell. My Dad used that in a similar situation when he was a child, growing up on a farm.

Answer 8

You could use tomato juice or paste. But their is one kind of shampoo that my local pet store sells thats called S.O.S Skunk Odor Shampoo. I'm sure it's sold at other pet stores too. Try it and see if it works. It's better than making your cat smell like tomatoes! :)

Answer 9

1 bottle of hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 small squirt of liquid dish soap
Mix in bucket (it foams up) and sponge on cat leave sit 10 minutes and rise very well with water.
This works much better than the tomato stuff does.

Answer 10

Hmm..I agree with most of these answers, but I have a question of my own. What the hell is a SHUNK???
