He stinks way more than Chester did after I washed him. The problem is
that Otis not only got it along his neck and the side of his face like
Chester, but also got it full on the front of his face. I couldn't really
wash with that mixture all over his nose and around his eyes so there is
this savage skunk smell coming from his head.

I have to phone the vet for some of their concoctions as I can't possible
lather him again. He's got something with a pump spray that I can put on
gauze and leave on.

Phoned the city and they don't trap - only extermination services will get
skunks. We'll try first putting ammonia rags in the entrance of the den
after nightfall so that when it comes back in the AM it won't have
anywhere to set up shop. That's supposing that we know for sure that its
in the front step - it might be by the back fence too though.


You poor kids. Hope that you can get Otis' stinkiness removed soon. I
didn't know that putting Ammonia rags around skunk places would get rid of
them. You live and learn.
