How Do You Care For A Skunk Sprayed Dog?
• Do not run water over your dog. This only increases the stink, and if the dog has dry, or cracked skin, the spray can get into his or her skin, and cause burning. This also can lead to skin problems later. • Mix about 3/4 of a big bottle of hydrogen peroxide with about 3-6 tablespoons of baking soda. This is for a small dog. For a medium sized dog, use twice as much, and 3 times as much for a big dog. • Scrub the solution gently all over your dog. Do not leave in solution for more than 5 minutes. If so this may cause damage to the animal’s fur, the texture may be affected as well as the color. It is advisable to use disposable gloves because dry or cracked skin may cause burring. If you do this outside, your house won’t stink as much, and it would be better for everyone. • If stinking persists, make some more of the solution, or call your vet for other ideas. • You can also try a very effective product recommended to me by my veterinarian “DoggiCLEEN Skunk Spray”.
