I tried to search for it but I guess I'm too computer illiterate. I need the recipe for washing a skunk sprayed dog. And if anybody has a suggestion to get a skunk off the front porch so I can take care of him let me know. He's been on the porch for 4 hours and doesn't want to leave. I moved everything so he has nothing to hide behind.

I'd dispatch and get that thing tested for rabies, especially if your dog, or you, got bit. I wouldn't think they'd normally hang around like that.

Hydrogen peroxide
dish soap
baking soda

I forget the ratio.

You can use a box trap, cover it with a towel or blanket, place it up against the porch wall, use a garden hose to spray/guide the skunk into the trap. Then have it tested. Recipe includes 1 teaspoon of Dawn, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. I don’t recall the quantity of soda or peroxide.

Skunk Odor Removal
Mix all ingredients together in a plastic bucket;

1 quart hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon liquid dishsoap

Use a sponge or cloth to wipe the animal, can do the inside of the mouth but KEEP OUT OF THE EYES! Mix as needed, doesn't store well after mixing.

Qt of hydrogen peroxide
1/4 dawn soap
2 tbs of baking soda

IIRC

Shot the skunk thru the spine and tomato juice for the dog

Thank you everyone.

This works! It is what I wash skunks in if they have sprayed. It foams like crazy and can't be stored so be ready to use it when you brew a batch up. After you wash the dog, throw the leftovers on the porch, ground or anywhere else it may have sprayed. This works well on vehicles too.

100% works.

Most animal Vets carry skunk off stuff can’t say how well it works. Aim at the lungs never the skull or spine the virus spreads if you do that freeze the skunk to make the test accurate cold will not kill the virus dehydration and sunlight will.

Of course it works.

I cut and pasted that right from Trapperman.com


Best information in the world right here.

yup works and not to particular or precise on the measurements


if you had a 1/3 cup baking soda come out of the box to your quart of Hydrogen peroxide and a generous squirt of dish soap you would be fine

most any dish soap works , it helps to get the oils in the essence.

use what ever you have for dish soap.

Orange degreaser . Get it at Walmart for about 3 bucks.

And have your pets rabies vaccine boosted just to be safe.

Good point. Cheap insurance. I agree.

So I know In Pa rabies testing at the dept of health is a free service. But getting a courier and shipping costs money. If it is questionable wildlife, does the game commission handle those costs? Off topic but I am not sure. Just wondering

tomato soup bath

Engine degreaser works too, but I wouldn't put that on the dog.

I've have very good luck with a product called Natures Miracle. No mixing or short shelf life and cheap enough to keep several bottles around. Spray on and walk away.
