I dont know what to do. What can happen to him if i wait till the morning? I dont have the money to take him to a pet clinic.





Anything I can do?Dog got sprayed by a skunk?
Your dog will be fine. Put on a mask or something like that, get him in the tub, lock the door so he can't get out, put vinegar around the house in bowls or cups to get rid of the odor if it lingers, and use alot of dog shampoo and tomato juice. Same thing happened to my dog, so no need to worry.Dog got sprayed by a skunk?

Tips: Before You Bathe Your ';Skunked'; Dog








1. Before handling your dog, you may want to put on some old clothes. Skunk spray is actually an oil and is very difficult to remove from clothing. Do not let your dog lay in his dog bed or the skunk oils will get on the bed.





2. If possible, leave the dog outside to prevent the odor ridden oils from getting into your house.








3. Determine where the spray hit the dog. Depending on your dog's hair type, you may be able to trim away or comb out some of the affected hair.








4. When you're ready to wash the dog, only clean the sprayed area. Skunk spray is oily and can easily be spread all over the dog. You will most likely have to give the dog more than one bath, so save an all-over bath until the second or third washing.





How do I get the odor out?





It may be particularly hard to get the odor out of those dogs who have thick double coats. If quick action is not taken it is possible to smell the odor on your dog for up to two years, especially when the dog gets wet.





It is best to bathe your dog with a shampoo before the skunk's sulphuric spray dries on the fur. After bathing you can try some of the following methods...





Store bought De-Skunking Products





There are several products you can buy at the store to de-skunk your dog, which I think work best, but one does not always have them on hand when their dog gets sprayed.





Nature's Miracle Skunk Odor Remover


Earth Friendly Skunk Odor Remover











Tomato Juice or Mouthwash





A couple old methods used are saturating the dog's coat in tomato juice or mouthwash and than bathing the dog thoroughly with a canine shampoo. However the effectiveness of these methods are questionable and it is said that the tomato juice will leave your dogs coat all red.
Nothing will happen to him if you don't do anything tonight. You don't need to take him to the vet either.





Just wash him in the morning. You could always try the tomato juice route, or else there are special shampoos for skunk and stuff that you could find at a pet store. Even with either of those, sometimes the smell sticks around for awhile, but not nearly as bad.
TOMATO JUICE!!! AND LOTS OF IT!!


Our boxers were notorious for getting sprayed by skunks (cause we lived in the country) let it air out first, get a tub of some kind, rubber gloves , outside, it will linger for a bit but it will defiently help, and your dog will be outside for a bit, and may the force be with you!
Bathe him in the following solution:





1 qt Hydrogen peroxide


1/4 cup baking soda


1 teaspoon dish soap.





Don't store any excess in a sealed container as it could explode.





Nothing will happen to him if you wait--he'll just be stinky.
You don't really need to take him to a vet...Just bathe him with a lot of dog shampoo and tomato juice to eradicate the smell. And wear a mask so that you can get ear your dog. :)
You need to plug your nose so you can do this: get rubber gloves and check out this web site:
