A skunk sprayed my dog!!! - ZEFRANK.COM

What really works? She has a cut on her lip too. That could be from dragging her head around on the lawn to get the spray out of her eyes and mouth.

I threw her into the tub, covered all the beds in old throw out blankets. Shampood her whole body and face. Then I put a dab of toothpaste in her mouth to get rid of that taste.

My house stinks!!!!

aaaaaaaaaw.......tomato paste.

masterofNone · 06-06-2004, 12:50 AM

tomato juice is what we used. heh. i can't remember who was more miserable my old shepard or my ma.

Aphrodite · 06-06-2004, 12:52 AM

I've heard of the tomato juice but didn't want to waste it if it's useless.

Audreyvgs · 06-06-2004, 12:55 AM

at least 7 times it's happened to my dogs.

Tomato Juice, or just hose em off and leave em outside til the stink fades!!!

agentsmith · 06-06-2004, 01:11 AM

juice? i thought it was paste...

masterofNone · 06-06-2004, 01:14 AM

i think the paste might work but it might be tougher on the dog.

zenbabe · 06-06-2004, 01:28 AM

yep, gotta give him a bath in the tomatoe juice..would probably be cheaper to buy a bunch of paste and mix it with water though....

poor puppy...

Tomato juice really does work! I have a cat who is so stupid AND so mean that he got skunked twice in the same year. It truly does work to use tomato juice -- there's an enzyme in it that neutralizes whatever delightful substance it is that makes skunk spray smell so awful.

It is not, however, helpful when your husband walks in looking as if he were dressed to dispose of drums of spent plutonium (goggles, yellow mackintosh and work gloves, no less), scares the hell out of the cat, and the furry wee bastard hops out of the tub and runs around the house shaking himself. Even less helpful if you have a house with an open floor plan. Less helpful still if you just washed the walls that week. White and beige and cream walls. And if this happens to you twice in one summer, you and I are living parallel lives on different timelines. LOL

Since you have a dog instead of a cat, you may be able to contain the creature.

If there is a man in residence, send him to the store for more tomato juice while you bathe the dog. A man always wants to help, bless his dear, well-intentioned heart, and the biggest help most men can be is to get the hell out of there while you're trying to work with a miserable, wet, stinky, irritated pet (or small child, for that matter) , so this is the perfect solution.

Good luck.

Frieda · 06-06-2004, 08:32 AM

what does it smell like?

Aphrodite · 06-06-2004, 11:39 AM

My sister swears by peroxide, dish soap, and baking soda. I am going to try it because I have all of that in the house.

mix it in a cup and use it like shampoo.

Audreyvgs · 06-06-2004, 11:44 AM

It kind of dissipates with time anyway.... it's better today, isn't it?
