Well, my dog got sprayed by a skunk because she chased after it. we managed to get the smell out by using baking soda, liquid soap, and hydrogen peroxide. but she is now drooling very badly. theres literally spots on my blanket where she has laid and drooled.

Offer her plenty of water. The skunk spray is an irritant that will cause watering of the eyes, runny nose, and drooling. SHe probably got some in her mouth, poor thing.

Perhaps some of the skunk spray entered into your dog's mouth. Drooling can be a reaction against the substance in the spray as a defense mechanism. So I suggest you try to wash your dog's mouth with a little baking soda and take her to a vet.

The hydrogen peroxide could be causing the drooling. My vet uses Scope mouthwash when a dogs gets sprayed. It really works well. Make sure her nose and eyes are washed out with water, and make sure she has lots of water to drink. Make sure she stays calm that was a very stressful ordeal and that too could be causing the drooling. Hope she's okay soon. Poor girl;^(

Did she start drooling RIGHT after she was sprayed. If it got in her mouth, she's probably drooling to get the taste out. I got sprayed by a skunk once and it got in my mouth, it was HORRIBLE. I had the taste there for days. The poor thing.

I would give her a Benadryl,if you have it,and also some bread and milk,which will help to remove the taste of the skunk spray and help to stop the drooling.Also,make sure her eyes haven't been affected.
The peroxide is the standard "cure" for skunk spray.It will not hurt your dog.It is even given orally to induce vomiting when a dog has ingested something potentially toxic.

Shes probably drooling from the peroxide or baking soda if she wasnt drooling as soon as she got sprayed. She just probably got some in her mouth, nothing to be too concerned about but in the future tomato juice also works good on gettin rid of the smell... as long shes not white cause then it would turn her red.

The spray may be the reason, eyes etc. And also, she was frightened by it. Make sure she has plenty of water and if it's not better by tomorrow, I would take her to the vet.
You might thing also about the soap you used for her bath..lol Glad you got the smell out though...
Tomato juice is another way to do that.

DID YOU PUT ALL THAT STUFF ON HER AT ONCE????? DID SHE GET SPRAYED IN THE FACE??? FOR THAT REMEDY YOU ONLY USE WARM WATER WITH 1 PINT OF PEROXIDE, 1/2 CUP OF BAKING SODA AND JUST A SQUIRT OF DAWN DISH LIQUID...SHE MAY BE ALLERGIC TO ONE OF THE INGREDIENTS!!! OFFER HER WATER AND WATCH HER CLOSELY!! IF SHE DOESN'T GET BETTER OR SHOWS OTHER SIGNS CALL THE VET...GOOD LUCK!!
