Otis got skunked - Part II`
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. Susan M Otis and Chester |

I hope you find a solution to Otis' stinkiness soon, the poor baby. Most of all I hope you get that skunk. kili |

I didn't know that putting Ammonia rags around skunk places would get rid of them. You live and learn. Pam S. |

Just make sure you don't have a shed door open or somewhere they can make a
new home. "tanadashoes" wrote in message ... "Susan M" wrote in message ... He stinks way more than Chester did after I washed him.

Did you try washing him with tomato juice?
That worked for us years ago in my 'other life' when our dog got skunked. Good luck with that. Hug Kyla "Granby" ...
