Help please, my dog got skunked!!?

Question

Anyway to get rid of smell other than tomato juice, we're dying here!!

Answer 1

the dog i had (peter) got sprayed four times that i had him. i spent the time with tomato juice and it worked pretty good (you have to get it in good) but after that on the next ones ( he was an outside dog) he was on his own( short haired dog) it was about two weeks it went away.( you think he would learn --lol) they might like it---lol. they'll roll in a dead animal(maybe to much info)

Answer 2

First check to see if your dog was injured by the skunk. If your dog is bleeding or appears to have been bitten, consult a vet immediately. Skunks may carry rabies. If vaccinated, your dog is safe from the rabies virus (but you are not!)

1 quart (or liter) of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, H2O2.
Use fresh (unopened) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Hydrogen peroxide eventually turns into water (H2O).
1/4 cup (50 ml.) of Baking Soda
1 teaspoon (5 ml.) of Liquid Soap
1 pair of plastic or latex gloves

Bathe the dog outside or, if it's too dark or cold, in the bathroom with the door closed and window opened.
Combine the ingredients in an open container (do not store in a sealed bottle--it will explode).
Using gloves, wash your dog with lukewarm water and the mixture while the mixture is bubbling. Work the mixture well into the fur.
Be sure to concentrate on the area that was sprayed.
Keep mixture away from your dog's face and eyes (it's a harsh solution). (If your dog has been sprayed in the face, try Tricotine Liquid Douche Concentrate or any over-the-counter douche.)
Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes or so before rinsing off.
Rinse the dog with lukewarm tap water. Don't wash the mixture into your dog's eyes (use a washcloth to cover the eyes if you're rinsing the head).
After bathing, check your dog's eyes. If they are red and watering, your dog may have taken a direct hit in the face. Skunk spray won't blind the dog, but it's very painful. Contact a vet.

Answer 3

"I have heard that you use peroxide,baking soda and a small amount of dish soap"

Not only have I heard this, I have used it on my cat after he was sprayed. I have to say that I worked pretty darn good too. Here is the actually recipe:

"Please use care when washing your dog's face. These ingredients all have acidic properties and can cause painful eye irritation. If your dog's eyes are red and swollen, he may have been sprayed directly in the face, please contact your veterinarian about soothing eye drops available.

Recipe #1:
1 quart 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 teaspoon liquid soap
Mix in a bucket (it will fizz).
Soak your dog's fur, but be careful not to get any in his eyes.
Use a sponge to clean off his head and around his eyes.
Knead solution into the fur and be sure to get every part of him with it.
Rinse thoroughly."

Hope this helps

There is a great product on the market that you can get at doggie washes called Skunk Off. It works wonders.

Answer 5

I have ony heard of tomatoe juice. I think that is the only way to get it out. You might want to call your vet to see what they recommend.

Answer 6

1 bottle household hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1 teaspoon dish soap..mix in large bowl and apply while foaming..don;t use a metal bowl, don't try to store..

Wet the dog down and leave for 5 minutes, rinse well..
Pour canned milk over his eyes if they are burning..
check for any bites on his face or chest, as these quickly get infected..
