De-skunking Remedy

So your dog has been skunked!

P-U!

What you will need....
 

• 1 quart  of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, H₂O₂.
  Use fresh (unopened) hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). Hydrogen peroxide eventually turns into water (H₂O).
• 1/4 cup of Baking Soda
• 1 teaspoon  of Liquid Soap  (Original Dawn... the blue in the Original Dawn will not turn the coat blue)
• 1 pair of plastic or latex gloves

 To Use

• Bathe the dog.
• Combine the ingredients in an open container (do not store in a sealed bottle--it will explode).
• Using gloves, wash your dog with lukewarm water and the mixture while the mixture is bubbling. Work the mixture well into the fur.
• Be sure to concentrate on the area that was sprayed.
• Keep mixture away from your dog's face and eyes (it's a harsh solution). (If your dog has been sprayed in the face, try  an over-the-counter douche.)
• Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes or so before rinsing off.
• Rinse the dog with lukewarm tap water.  Don't wash the mixture into your dog's eyes (use a washcloth to cover the eyes if you're rinsing the head).
• You can also rinse with an Over the counter douche and leave on.
• After bathing, check your dog's eyes. If they are red and watering, your dog may have taken a direct hit in the face. Skunk spray won't blind the dog, but it's very painful. Contact a vet.
