Skunk problems - YUCK!

In case it sprays... SKUNK DEODORANT RECIPE 1 Quart of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide ¼ Cup of Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) 1 Tsp. Liquid Soap (Dish Detergent) Mix the above together in a plastic bucket and wash the infected object, be it human, canine, feline, garage, shed, car basement, etc. Make sure you keep the solution away from eyes, nose and mouth. The skunk odour should disappear immediately! ROTFLMAO!! This product is fast and safe – and best of all, it works! Nonsense. Clearly, you're just repeating what you read somewhere, and have never actually tried this yourself. A few years ago, when our dog was sprayed by a skunk, we found this *exact* recipe on the net and tried it. It didn't do a damn thing to reduce the odor. Neither did PetSmart's shampoo that was "guaranteed" to remove skunk scent. PetSmart gave us a refund on that one. The old home remedy of a bath in tomato juice actually did cut the odor substantially --- but the only thing that truly works to remove skunk smell is TIME. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Maybe skunks in different parts of the countryt are "made" differently. I have used the "formula" on our dogs with great success. I heard this formula was designed by a chemist and actually neutraizes the chemical in the spray that smells (old wives tale?). Tomato juice only worked a little. Massengel powder, mixed with water, worked better than tomato juice and left a nice smell (along with some residual skunk), but the "formula", as I said, was best. |

How much tomato juice did you get? Did you just rinse the dog afterwards? Two cans, of the largest size I could find in the grocery, probably 48 ounces each. I rinsed the dog afterward, then shampooed and rinsed again, and rinsed, and rinsed -- took forever to get the tomato juice out of his hair. That would depend on the breed of dog, too, I'm sure. Ours was an Australian shepherd (long, fine, dense, fluffy hair). Something with short, coarser hair such as a beagle or a Labrador retriever might be easier. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

Maybe skunks in different parts of the countryt are "made" differently. I have used the "formula" on our dogs with great success. More likely, your dogs have never gotten the full force and effect of the skunk's discharge. Ours unquestionably got the whole thing at a range of only about a yard. "Eau de skunk" is a blend of a number of malodorous chemicals, some more volatile than others. A dog that gets sprayed up close, as ours was, gets everything, whereas one sprayed at a greater distance isn't going to receive quite the same cocktail. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

sam booka X2 could not resist divulging personally embarrassing information in news:Xns97F76DAEADF5DAlbertaClipper@ 199.185.223.74: In an episode of the television programme MythBusters, the hydrogen peroxide mix was found to be the most effective smell removal agent[5]. Temp de-lurk. Get *fresh* hydrogen peroxide. I have used this recipie on a dog sprayed from less than one foot, full-on (I witnessed it). It most definitely works, The peroxide I used was a brand-new bottle, bought specifically for this purpose. Didn't do squat. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

It works according to Mythbusters. Maybe it was your additional crossposting stench that it failed to eliminate. It was me who crossposted the OP inquiry to AHP for some informed advice. Your comment above was made to the coffeehouse only, but directed at one of the good people at AHR. I'm forwarding your comment back to AHR so the community there can see what kinds of liars and cowards we have to deal with here at the coffeehouse. Say it to the guys face next time, you rude, rude man. No skin off my nose. He's just proving what I said at the beginning: that he's only repeating what he read somewhere, and has no first-hand knowledge. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

I thought it was actually quite good of you to find the appropriate group for Rick's problem. Since it was me who started this thread, I'll chime in here. I DO NOT appreciate cross-posting, even if (and that's questionable) it's well-intended. Richie has gone from bad to complete TROLLDOM in my book. |
