Skunked kitty... any miracle cures?

**emilysgk** · 03-13-2007, 02:38 PM

Ok.. they were considering the peroxide mix, then the vet said the Scope. I dont knw what would be in the scope that would help? I will tell them that the peroxide mix has been tried and known to work pretty well. I know nothing will probably work 100% but as long as its not being spread around the house and isnt too horrible, it will be enough. My husband got sprayed once, got just a bit on his upper arm... would not come off! (It had gotten into a live trap)

I Know My Vet Being A Country Vet Has Made Up His Own Solution As Hes Always Getting Dogs In That Have Run Into Skunks.
He Said He Got Very Few Cats As Cats Are More Cautious Around Skunks Than A Dog Has A Tendacy To Be.

Awee poor wittle baby.. I guess this means the wittle one not sleeping in bed with you now..

Yes I have heard most all of the advise given.. But have heard Tomato Juice was the best for a bathing..

Scope has alcohol, which acts as a solvent for the active stinky stuff in skunk spray. I would prefer the peroxide formula, since the alcohol may evaporate too quickly to be of much use!

I've been skunked (very long story) and was told that tomato juice worked. It smelled enough that I discarded all that I was wearing and just showered. It wasn't worth the risk of stinking up the machine.

They used to mouthwash, and so far, it seems to have worked. She smells slightly in the face, obviously they didnt use it there. Time will tell since she still smell "fresh" lol They wet her down with it, let it sit a couple minutes and rinsed.
