So Saturday dear doggie came out of the brush foaming at the mouth like she was rapid. Actually it was worse than rabies ... it was skunk oil. OMG. :nonono:
So Sunday she got skunked again. I considered euthanasia the second time however. Lucky for her the vet was closed on Sunday.
I bathed her again in the recipe. :bath:
Sunday afternoon she rolled on a dead bird. True story - all my stories are true.
My advise is to keep the ingredients and recipe on hand for quick access. Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to be in the grocery store shopping or searching the web as your dog is standing on the porch dripping skunk oil. :pet:
Disclaimer:
Be sure not to touch the skunk oil or get it on your clothes.
Be sure not to mix up ahead of time and DO NOT store in a closed container (I used a bucket). Apparently the fumes become pressurized ... and will explode your container.
If your dog is a nice dark shade ... she'll be considerably blonder when done processing. Mine just got blonder (literally ... well figuratively too).
1 quart 3% hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 Tablespoon liquid soap
Mix together and use immediately. Use this mixture several times until the smell is nearly gone. Use over full body if desired after a couple of bathings on the sprayed area(s) only.
I hope you never need this ... but you will thank me if you ever do! :cool-dog:
