Two dogs and one skunk

[lizziegrace]

dogs obviously lost. Think good thoughts for hisownpetard. The skunk got her dogs while I was talking to her...

:(

1. That happened to my dogs last summer.

They killed it and then rolled all over the carcass. It was hell for MONTHS.

:puke:

2. Whatever you do do not suggest euthanasia

The smell will get off the dogs.. ohhh in a few months.

Mine still smells of it when he gets wet :D

:hug:

11. I dunno - I know you meant well, but last night "euthanasia" might have seemed

like a pretty decent suggestion...

:toast:

3. You Asked For It

:hi:

4. oh YUCH

sorry about that

I will never forget one night my dogs got sprayed...
ran in the house and started to rub up against the couch...

got them outside to give them a bath but the damage was done


my poor kids went to school smelling like skunk the next day because we didn't think about checking the jackets hung up by the door....

blech


lost

good luck

:hug:

[hisownpetard]

12. Yeah. I feel like sticking two garlic cloves up my nostrils, or two camphor balls -

anything to get rid of that godawful smell!

5. And then there was the time a skunk took aim at our bedroom.

In the summer we sleep with the outside bedroom doors open. A skunk walked past the open doors, Big Red Dog lunged at the door, barking hysterically, said skunk let Big Red Dog - and sound-asleep us - have it through the open door. Not a great way to wake up.

And this is something that I would have never thought of:

Use female douche, 2 bottles took care of the smell for my dog. A dog breeder told me about this little trick good luck. PS this worked better than the peroxide/liquid soap/baking soda mixture did.

13. I've heard of telling the pharmacist that the douche you're buying is for a 'friend'.

But "It's for my dog"?? Nah, I don't think I could pull that one off.

Thanks for the suggestions, though. That was sweet of you.

16. No, I don't think I could buy a douche for my dog with a straight face.

:P

[Coyote_Bandit]

15. Yep

Had occasion last summer to use the peroxide, vinegar, baking soda mixture. Helped alot.

7. There's never a happy ending

to a story that begins thus.

8. So very true

I'm afraid to call her and find out what's going on...

9. happens around here about twice a week all fall

but then the dogs live outside. I think putting water on them or anywhere skunk spray hits is the worst thing you can do - it seems to set the stench. Best is fresh air and lots of it. Enzyme spray from the pet store will take care of it too if you have one near by.

Search my posts - we had one coming in the house a bunch of times this summer. Crazy - the cat never cared or bothered it, but dogs and skunks do NOT mix.

10. Got them but good!

And that is just plain BAD.

Soon as I got them inside, they jumped up on my bed and rolled around.
Damage: One heavy winter comforter, pillowcases, blankets, everything into the washer.
Will probably have to go through the wash cycle 5 times, at least.

I confined them to one room and ran to the store to get tomato juice, which is the only thing
that's ever worked. Have to mix it with shampoo and drench them in it, over and over.
But the store only had those iddy-biddy little cans in 6-packs - so I bought all 36 little cans.
Woman at the checkout counter smiled and said, "Bloody Mary's?"

I said "No, bloody skunk!"

The whole house still smells. I'm not having any company until 2012.

And how is your day going, so far?

[lizziegrace]

17. Ack!

I won't come visit until 2012...

:hug:


So sorry this happened. But it makes for a great story. ;)

18. Need help carrying in your bundles? (Don't know how you can carry them, now

that I see how many hearts you hold)!!

[lizziegrace]

19. ...

:P

This is getting embarrassing... ;)

[suninvited]

14. Tomato juice

lots and lots of it. I dont know why, but it really helps !
