home remedy or anything else to remove skunk spray on dog?

[madehtsobi]

so our maltipoo likes to chase things...well he met his match yesterday early morning when he came upon a skunk and got sprayed pretty bad on his hind leg and belly area.

we tried hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and also natures miracle skunk remover but the baking soda and peroxide pretty much just removed the "oil" but the smell is still there..

just wondering has anyone else ever encountered this issue and what did you use to get rid of it??

thanks!

Tomato juice/sauce is suposed to help with skunk smell......... soak in it

I dunno never been sprayed or had a dog sprayed my worst encounter with skunk was trapping it in my live trap then shooting it instead of getting animal control to get it the smell was horrific when we had to pull it out to dump it

get a couple of big cans of tomatoe juice pour them in the kitchen sink... plug it first... put your dog in it and pour the juice over the areas or force him to laydown in it if the sink is big enough. he will have to soak in it for at least 20-30 minutes... ya might want to scrub the juice into the areas also... wear rubber gloves!

If you have a large tub, it would best best to do the soaking and scrubing outside

I was halfway joking. It's a remedy I saw used by people in the ghetto. Worked miracles for skin diseases.

Yeh that's probably why it was used in the ghetto... I'm trying to get rid of the smell not make it worse..

I would shave the affected area, to prevent staining, and do what was suggested about the tomato sauce!

It's said to help with demodex mange, but that's just old folk myths.
