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

[ramanth]

Well two days after rolling in skunk stink, Chipper's head and left side of his face broke out in sores and scabs which got infected.

Vet's a bit puzzled about what caused it since mom used less than a quart of peroxide in the mixture she made up and he didn't break out in the other areas where he was treated.

Regardless, he's on Benadryl (he's scratching at it) and antibiotics for the next 10 days.

The vet said I also have to pick the scabs and get the dead skin and hair out so it can heal properly. Ick.

Hmm, weird.

I was also going to give Phred's recipe. We used it on Remy because she also did not get sprayed, but stuck her nose somewhere it sprayed. Lol

Poor Chipper.

I've never had a pet get sprayed by a skunk, *knock on wood,* but my grandpa had a skunk get under his deck and make his whole back porch stink. I went to school and I smelled like skunk. They made me shower and change at school... Miserable experience.

Hope he heals up nicely and becomes less stinky!

*Sigh* What we don't have to do for our pets.
Poor Chipper. Hope the meds work.
Poor you, too. One of my biggest fears is Logan getting skunked.
