Need help NOW! Sprayed by skunk

[dinoman]

Yes as the title says I need help NOW! When me and Harley were out on our morning walk as we were comeing back and came around a corner of a building a skunk was walking down the road and I couldn't get Harley called off fast enough (well at all). And of course I got in the mix, and the skunk deffinatly sprayed though I haven't determined yet which one of us or both. So I need ways to get this smell out! I know you guys have tricks out there I NEED THEM REALLY BAD!

[gary greguire]

for the dog dish soap works well tomato juice will help also

for you use the tomato juice and a good long hot shower with zest or somthing similar

Morning stinky, lol, they say that tomatoe juice gets rid of the smell, but send someone else to the store for it ok!

Good luck

Thanks for the sugestions so far! The parents are going to town this morning anyway so they're going to pick up whatever I tell them.

Mornin smelly, I wonder if Dr Joey will be able to smell ya when he cruises past

C'mon Cody, admit it, they are so cute




J/K, you have my sympathy, sounds like you and Harley will be spending some quality time together today

[dinoman]

Well the parents are getting ready to leave now, I gave them the ingredients off the website masson posted.

BTW, it seems that most of it is on Harley, the parents say they can still smell it a little bit on me, but that might just be from touching Harley. So I'm not real bad...but Harley he smells. Its not as bad as it could be but he's definatly NOT an inside dog at the moment. I have him out on our screened in porch, don't have to smell him too much but he's still locked up. That way if mr. skunk decides to show up for round two...

okay, the tomato will take out some (his white will be pink for a bit) but Natures miracle makes a skunk odor remover works great! Also I've heard the recipies above work well but you need to mix them up just before you use it. Like while harley's in the tub. the fresher the better. We used the NM stuff at the hospitals and it was like night and day for dogs. (yes, good morning emily welcome to work. you have one dog sprayed by a skunk waiting for a bath and a hyper lab who messed in his cage and danced in it all night long. Have fun!! -And yet, I still loved my job!)
Good luck and I'm so sorry! (make sure harley's eyes are okay and he didn't get stuff i them as well!)

Well I hope that you are able to get rid of the smell, that's gotta be the worst thing ever... Yeah they're the cutest little critter's but nah, I'll pass ... Let us know if that "recipe" works, then we'll all have it incase it happens to one of us , who knows maybe Mike will go out and get skunked and then try it out

I was waiting for you to get on. His eyes seem to be ok, so I'm not quite sure where he got sprayed. If the recipe on that other site doesn't get it all out I'll try and find the NM stuff. I don't remember where we got the other NM stuff (for taking odor out after they mess). Might have got it at the vet, if so I'll have to wait 'till tommorow to pick some up because they're closed on the weekends.

I'm sure I can find one to skunk him with. He's probably still pretty fired up too. I'm not too unsure this isn't the same one that got in the house a while ago!

Here's a pic of Mr. Stinky about 5min ago.

Now Harley have you learned anything from this?

If you get them while they're young and remove the scent glands, they actually make halfway decent pets!

[mike4271]

Look at the pic I posted, I hope you haven't upset Debi, looks like it has her cookies in that bowl

[emilye2]

Just a warning--if you ask "doggy people" the general concensus is that once a dog is sprayed by a skunk they will go back again and again. No one can figure out why, maybe they are just determined to figure out what it is? The same for porcupines which confuses me. In the vet's we would see the same dogs come in 3-4 times a year for quills. Unbelievable! So, stock up!!

Dino,

Our GSD was sprayed by a skunk last summer, and my husband IMMEDIATELY shampooed her with dish soap, and I swear it took all the stink out. He said it was imperative that we wash her immediately so the skunk scent oil did not penetrate her hair follicles, which is why the smell stays on them.

So next time (which I hope you don't have), try washing Harley immediately with dish soap and hopefully that will be enough.

Good luck!!!

Well I washed him, got most of it out. You can at least stand to be around him. There is still some on the top of his nose (I could smell it), but I don't think I want to put that mix on there because I'm worried it might bother his eyes. I rubbed some dish/hand soap on there and kinda wiped it off with a wet rag but I don't think it did much good.

Hopefully he wont try it again, I gave him a pretty big scare. When I separated them I literally picked Harley up by the skin on his neck and threw him the other way. Might not be nice but it wasn't time for nice .

So, how are the stinky twins getting on, have the parents put you outside withHarley

[dinoman]

I'm stink free! Harley...he's almost stink free. Still catch a wiff once and a while, but he's allowed inside again. I thought about being evil and having Harley crawl up in my brothers bed after he got sprayed, and yes he likes to lay right next (or on ) his head .

Aren't animals weird? Both of the cats could have cared less that he was stinky.

[TheBimbo]

Hey Dinoman, everything all stink free now??? That would really bite to be skunked... The neighbor down the street had 5 babies under their shed, the momma left them and they were sooo adorable... They finally left, atleast he thinks they did ... I will ask him when I see him...
