GF's parents dog was sprayed as he got into a fight with one (killed it) but it stunk up the house up north then when her mom came to visit us in clean clothes it even stunk up our apartment for weeks.
Our clothes, towels etc everything we just could not get rid of the smell.
We just had to wait it out and this was just because the smell travelled with her mom to our place because the dog up north was sprayed lol

Similar thing happened to my dog. You'll get used to the smell in a day, eventually it'll go away...

I find a faint smell of skunk to be quite pleasant - but up close it is fierce!
:eek:

They used some home made cleaners. I think they still have it on their site or something the solution.
I took the solution from the forums of discovery channel.
Skunk Smell CURE!!!
The baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, detergent mixture was developed by a chemist working for a pulp and paper plant in British Columbia, Canada. He reasoned that the active ingredients in skunk smell are in the same family (thyols) so he could us similar chemicals to what he was using in the pulp and paper plant.
Instead of caustic soda, use baking soda, instead of 30% hydrogen peroxide, use 3%. We still want a dog (and hands) after the wash.
So, check out Discovery Canada's web site: http://www.exn.ca/stories/2000/05/05/59.asp
- 1 litre of three per cent hydrogen peroxide
- quarter cup sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda
- dash of dishwasher detergent
That should do it.

I see nothing wrong with the smell of skunks.
In fact there is a species of marigold(yellow flower) that has the same scent.

My husky got sprayed one time, actually a few times, poor bugger never learns. Anyways, yeah your whole yard/street will stink for a few hours, but then it goes away. Can't say the same for animal that gets sprayed, so we had to dunk tomato juice all over him, (he's got white fur) and afterwards he was all pink, it was quite hilarious.

skunk smell is very recognizable. there is vegetation called skunk cabbage that emits a scent very similar to skunk spray, hence its name.
you'll know a skunk sprayed right away. it's not hard to miss.
