Dog meets Skunk - Advice?

[kallen]

Mythbusters actually did an episode on that, might wanna check that out.

Also, and EXTREMELY importante' ...check your dog for bites. Skunks and Racoons are well known for being carriers of rabies. Might wanna have the vet test him to be sure, but at the very least, check him over really good...and use a nose plug!!!

This is the one that Mythbusters siad worked very well!


Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:

• 1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
• 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
• 1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
• Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) the spray victim thoroughly.
• Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
• Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary.
• For spray in the eyes, flush with water as soon as possible.

I just love the graphic!

I wonder if you'll have a blonde dog after that shampoo?

Thanks! I found this one on goggle as well. I am on my way to the store now to pick up some Hydrogen Peroxide. I did read several sites that said tomato juice will only end up smelling like skunk with tomato juice on a wet dog. Seems that one may be a myth.

I never knew that this smell could be so over bearing - this suff just STICKS to you! and really stays in your nose.

Thanks for all the advice - I am off to try what I hope is the solution. I'll let you know how it turn out!
