It is truly BAD! Did have some neutralizing spray but more work will be needed. A bath with dish washing detergent tomorrow. Dish washing soap can cut the skunk oil just a wee bit. God it stinks here.

The last thing you want to do is let the dog into your house where he can rub it off on your carpet and furniture. Keep the dog outside until the oil is completely gone from the fur if possible. 2 Many dogs get sprayed in the face. You should proceed to inspect your dog's eyes, and wash them out with a tear substitute if necessary. 3 Mix a solution of a quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 a cup of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap. Because this mixture foams upon mixing it must be used immediately on the fur. 4 Protect your dogs eyes and ears. Apply the solution directly onto the fur. Saturate the fur and rinse off after 5 minutes. You might find it necessary to repeat this process. 5 Afterward you might still smell skunk odor on the dog's head. It's harder to wash the head for protecting the eyes and ears. You can try to wash the dog's head in baby shampoo to help with the smell, but it won't completely get rid of it. 6 Dispose of your rubber gloves and clothing if it came into contact with the odor. If you insist on keeping them, and they can be washed in bleach proceed to do so in cold water. If not wash them outdoors with a strong detergent and cold water. Repeat as necessary. It might be necessary to order a skunk odor eliminator such as Odorxit or Room Shocker to use on clothing, furniture, carpet or anything else the dog might have came into contact with. These are available on the net, but a vet office might carry something similar. Some of these products can also be used on the dog in case the peroxide solution did not completely get rid of the skunk odor. 7 For any odors remaining outside wash down with bleach and rinse. To keep skunks away, use ammonia near trash cans to avoid future sprays.

Hope the wind blows away from the house. Awards

Hardly any odor at all on the dog and she was skunked real bad. Head, muzzle ears and collar were hit. When she came back to the house she was frothing at the mouth so undoubtedly she got some in her mouth. If any of you are ever in the same situation I suggest the same product, easy to use and very effective.
