Chipper and his new perfume... ou d'skunk

You will not get the smell out 100% for months. But then again, your dog is a short haired dog. When Zoee got it it took forever. Although, we did not realize it was in her ear for a week. YUCK! But she has two thick coats so for about 6 months after, she smelled any time she got wet. I bathed her tons of times. Several using the recipe Phred posted above and several times with other things I heard worked.
Poor thing was not allowed to sleep on the bed with us that whole time.

Also, Chippers may not be as bad since he wasn't directly sprayed. Good luck, and you will actually get used to the smell.......a little.

I shared that 'recipe' with my mom Phred. I'll have to check back and see if she used it.

The smell is mainly on his head, neck, and shoulders.

Oh Chippper! I commented on facebook - Star used to catch & kill a skunk every year or two. We used the Skunk Remedy recipe Phred posted - and it works better than anything else. The key is to use fresh peroxide & baking soda, and a non-degreasing dishsoap (for some reason degreasing stuff like Dawn doesn't work). Still, I have to say, she always did have a slight skunk-odor when it rained right up to the end of her days, lol.

Oh, Chipper, you just HAd to, didn't you? Lady's Human relies on Nature's Miracle. At least Chipper didn't do what Lady did one time - chased the skunk under his truck, where the skunk sprayed Lady and the exhaust system at once. So he was driving to the store to get a new bottle of the Nature's Miracle shampoo, smelling burning skunk oil from the truck the whole way!

Oh, Chipper, that's not the best smell. But I really like the pictures of you being cute and innocent! I hope you smell un-skunky again soon!

Micki got sprayed a couple weeks ago, and he STILL stinks! We did the hydrogen peroxide mix.

I've heard embalming fluid with an index of 1 or 2 gets the smell out really well and isn't harmful! How you're supposed to get your hands on it, I'm not sure :P

Ohhh Chips. At least he only rolled in it and didn't get it head on like Micki. He had a visible yellow circle on his chest where he got sprayed.

Oh no!! Micki, you goofball!

My mom bathed Chips in that solution a couple of times and he still smelled a bit. I picked up the Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor Remover and it neutralized the smell on his neck, shoulders, and chest.

His head still smells, but you have to stick your nose in his face to smell it. He doesn't knock you off your feet when he walks by like he used too.
