My dog has been skunked, what do I do?

Asked by jonsblond (43669points) March 30th, 2011

It’s bedtime, I haven’t slept for days, I just let my dog out to pee before bed and he came back reeking of skunk spray. He usually sleeps in our room on the floor next to our bed. In fact, he’s in there right now with my husband.

I did a little research and read that the smell from the oils can last for up to two years if the dog has a thick coat and it’s not washed immediately. What other facts should I know about skunk spray? Should I have Bear sleep in the mud room? Will my room reek forever now?

Help please!
