My dog was sprayed by a skunk. What do I do?
If it was sprayed in the eye please get it to the vet ASAP as it can cause blindness.
Now onto getting rid of the smell. I recently watched a Discovery Channel program where they tried different solutions to get rid of the odor. Here is the results:
1. A homemade remedy of: One pint of hydrogen peroxide, one small box of baking soda, and a couple of squirts of any dish washing liquid mixed in a gallon of water. This was the best at removing the skunk smell.
2. Tomatoe Juice. Yes it did work. Not great as it left a slight skunk odor, and there was the chance that it could give a red tinge to a light colored dog's hair, but it did work.
3. Commercial products to remove the smell did not work as well as the above two, but did remove some of the smell.
