HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… i honestly don't know. i'm sorry!What does a drunk skunk look like, or do?
A drunk skunk would look a lot like my brother and smells like him too!
A drunk skunk lays around and does nothing but get drunk and lets out odors from their bottoms!
A VERY good question--does copious urination come to mind?
* When you are passed out on the ground =) after a LOT of b00ze :D *

My dog got sprayed by a skunk we washed him and his fur doesn't smell anymore its when he breaths out?
when he breaths out you smell skunk, what can i do to clean out his noseMy dog got sprayed by a skunk we washed him and his fur doesn't smell anymore its when he breaths out?
Ah bless him, he is sure one unlucky dog!! as said in previous replies tomato juice should to the trick, not sure on the part putting it in his nostrils tho not sure how you would do that without hurting him maybe better just to ask a vet?!My dog got sprayed by a skunk we washed him and his fur doesn't smell anymore its when he breaths out?
Try feeding him tomato juice, and put a drop or two in each nostril. That should clear it, most of it anyways

Dont put anything in his nose. It will go away in about 3 weeks. its not worth hurting your dog. Just dont sniff his breath for a while...

Does calling animal control to remove, say, a family of skunks, cost money?
We had a skunk in our yard and Animal control said that to get rid of it the only thing we could do was pick up a trap from them, alert them once they were trapped and they would take the skunk and kill it. The reason is that the only other option is to take out its scent gland and re-realease them , but that it is animal cruelty to do so because it leaves them defenseless. The nasty part is that after they kill it YOU are responsible for getting rid of the body. GROSS. They didnt say anything about a fee though. Hope this helps.Does calling animal control to remove, say, a family of skunks, cost money?
Animal control won't remove them. You will need to call a pest control company and pay them.Does calling animal control to remove, say, a family of skunks, cost money?

No, It Shouldnt Cost Anythng.

What means ';drunk as a skunk'; besides the rhyme why would they allude to a skunk as drunk?
';Drunk as a skunk'; (meaning ';extremely inebriated';) cannot be pinned on the habits of Mephitis mephitica, the charming North American mammal and member of the weasel family which takes its name from the Algonquian Indian word meaning ';urinating fox.'; The term ';drunk as a skunk'; is, simply a good example of our love of comparisons and rhyming, made especially popular by the fact that ';skunk'; happens to be one of the few words that rhymes with ';drunk.'; Similar, albeit non-rhyming, terms for ';extremely drunk'; have included, over the years, drunk as a fly, a log, a dog, a loon, a poet, a billy goat, a broom, a bat, a badger, a boiled owl, and several dozen more too risqu茅 to list here. Although comparative terms for drunkenness have been popular throughout the history of English, ';drunk as a skunk'; seems to be a fairly recent (20th century) addition to the canon.What means ';drunk as a skunk'; besides the rhyme why would they allude to a skunk as drunk?
From the website I cited below, ';Most etymological sources agree that the term drunk as a skunk arose due to its rhyme. Prior to its appearance in English there were several other drunk as a ____ phrases, some dating back to Chaucer's time. Lord was skunk's immediate predecessor, the notion there being that the rich could better afford alcoholic drink than the common folk.';What means ';drunk as a skunk'; besides the rhyme why would they allude to a skunk as drunk?
I think its mainly based on the fact that it rhymes!
But if i think about it abit more indelth, i realise another probable reason...
a skunks Odour is intoxicating, and to be intoxicated means to be drunk... so maybe thats another way of looking at it?
I think it's just the rhyme factor at play here. in my experience skunks are very sober, solid, serious creatures, and I've never seen one fail to recite the alphabet backwards.
you would have to ';cool as a moose'; to understand
maybe it has nothing to do with skunks drinking too much, and it was just chosen as skunk and drunk rhyme...
drunk as a moose or drunk as a possum just don't sound the same..
because when some people get drunk and
neglect themselves they really start to
smell really bad.
I would say ';no';.

Suspected skunk scratch or bite?
My dog was either scratched, bitten or cut his nose on his fence last night. We heard him give a little cry then smelled the skunk odor. He has not had his rabies shot in 3 years. I cleaned his nose thoroughly. What should I do at this point? He is kenneled with an access door to his 'yard'.Suspected skunk scratch or bite?

Does any one know were skunks live? and does any one have a skunk as a pet? and do u like it?
Skunks shouldn't be pets, because they stink.
Skunks are foul.
And why would you want to know where skunks live?Does any one know were skunks live? and does any one have a skunk as a pet? and do u like it?
there's a skunk that lives under my back yard shed. you can come and get him anytime you want to.
it's possible to have the ';stinkbag'; removed - the art that allows them to spray the skunk funk, so it is possible to have one as a pet.
from my experience they can be really vicious. If you get one as a baby i am sure it would be fine as a pet.
I had a baby raccoon once because the mother got hit by a car in front of my house. It was only a week or two old and we raised it. it was a loving little pet and he was awesome.

My dog got sprayed by a skunk tonight, we washed him with this mixture the vet told us to...?
but he got sprayed right in the eyes so i cant use this mixture where he really got sprayed. All they said was to wash his face with normal soap and use saline solution for his eyes, which we did. We also used tomato juice which does NOT work! Are there any other suggestions about what I could use on his face?
Thank you!My dog got sprayed by a skunk tonight, we washed him with this mixture the vet told us to...?
Use canned milk for his eyes..Regular milk will help, but canned milk is best..
Bathe him in this, and it can be sponged on his face, but not his eyes..
1 bottle household hydrogen preoxide. plus 1/4 cup of baking soda, plus 1 peaspoon of dish soap..
Mix in non metal bowl..soak him down, allow to stay on for five minutes, and rinse well..Don't store any that's left..
Canned milk is the remedy for mace or pepper spray..My dog got sprayed by a skunk tonight, we washed him with this mixture the vet told us to...?
take him and get him professionally groomed.
Anyway you go is going to be kinda painful, poor thing, anyway, vinegar and water doesn't smell very good but it will do the job! It will neutralize the smell and it won't damage the eyes either. Just keep his eyes washed out of they seem to bother him it shouldn't last very long. Good Luck!
AGAIN???
At least you know better than to try tomatoes!!!
The peroxide,baking soda %26amp; detergent recipe DOES work!!! Face TOO!
use an old wash rag and dip it in the solution and wash his face with that
We're talking about your Dog's EYES! Don't experiment with these concoctions (spelling?) that people are giving.
If anything else, the dog's natural tears will be better than experimenting on him/her.
I vote to let time take its course. Dogs have been sprayed by skunks forever.
Remember the medical oath: ';Do no further harm';
A summer does not go by that my dog is not skunked at least twice. Tomato juice does the trick to get the potent smell off but that awful left over smell will be there for about a week and a half maybe a bit more depending, as you may have learned. As for the eyes I have found that fake tears (which i think is the same as saline, but I'm not sure) has done the trick. I would say one eye dropper full or one caplet of solution, depending on where and which you buy, but about 15 minutes later use only 1 to 2 drops of clear eye it is supposed to ease the sensation in their eyes.
this sounds so weird but trust me it works to get the smell outta anything not just skunk smell on dogs. USE WHITE VINEGAR, you can get it in gallon size for $1.89 at wal-mart and make sure it's white NOT cider and pour it all over your dog and rub it in like a sponge bath, work it into him for atleast 5 min, then rinse you may need to repeat once but it'll work.. I have a CHOW CHOW and the same thing happened to us about a week ago and it worked perfectly. Our vet says he uses it all the time because it's the safest solution for annimals incase they lick it, no harm.. GOOD LUCK :)
One Quart hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda, One teaspoon of liquid dish soap. Put vasiline or olive oil on his eyes and cotton balls in the ears. Keep washign out the eys with saline it takes a few days. This only lasts for a limited time so do not mix in advance. Rub it in really good and wait about 15 minutes. Repeat if necessary. This is a proven formula tested on Myth Busters and by my husband and his hunting dog.....:)
I am a dog groomer and i have seen this before nothing really works soaking in tomato juice will work for a human but not on dog fur I have tried everything even the stuff that promises it will work like de skunk and Oder free nothing works.
My vet gave me a mixture to use it is as follows
1-16 ounce bottle of hydrogen peroxide
2-teaspoons baking soda
1-teaspoon dawn dishwashing liquid or whatever dish detergent you use. mix well pour on the dog let set for 10-15 minutes rinse repeat if necessary. this solution also works on carpets and furniture if the dog as layed on them. just pour the solution through a steam cleaner. for larger dogs this solution can be and should be doubled tripled, etc. I have to use it quite often for my little guy nothing moves in my yard without him attacking it.....and he is a chihuahua......lol
Try Dawn Dish soap-It cuts grease (oil) which is what the spray is made of. Try 2 good scrubbings, and be sure to rinse really good and use a conditioner, cuz this stuff can be drying. Good Luck.
My aunt's dog got sprayed by a skunk once, and smelled awful for months afterwards even though they bathed it in tomato juice a LOT. Even after all that, it still stank when it got wet. There's no quick solution to this. Good luck to you and your dog!
The acid from the tomoto juice will work, but were talkin hours. Spray the pooch with some Fabreeze and toss his butt outside for a few days. Mine used to get it all the time. :)
Baking soda paste. Two parts baking soda, one part water. Rub that into your dogs fur, making sure you get down to the skin. It'll take the sting out of the spray and has the added bonus of helping with the smell. As for his eyes, I'd try OTC eyedrops, but if what the vet suggested didn't work, I'd take him back to the vet.
Good luck.
