Last night right about 10:00 PM our male Dachshund, Rubin came back in the house really stinky from the stink of skunk.
I don't think it was a full hit, as it was really a strong concentrated gunsmoke, or burned plastic type of stink. We locked him in the laundry room, and and I went to look in the back yard. There was no sign of a skunk, and no odor at all in the yard. I came back in and it was for sure in the house, from the dog. So I made a mad dash to the local Target that is open until 11:00 PM to get a quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide and some baking soda. Mix that with liquid soap, and scrub the dog down in the laundry room sink. Then some regular dog shampoo. It seems to do the magic.
This morning I went out back in the daylight and no sign of a skunk, no stink from a spray, no evidence at all. Rubin was allowed in the back yard, and he is acting like nothing in the back yard but routine stuff.
So a skunk or some critter came in the back yard, came over or through the fences, sprayed just the dog, and did not leave a trace, and flew off. At least we don't have a skunk under the storage building or in the back yard. I just wonder how he got so stinky.
The good news is H2O2 is and baking soda is cheap.
