What do I do if my dog is sprayed by a skunk?

It depends on how much skunk spray he got. There’s a website at www.vetinfo.com/dogskunk.html that explains the symptoms and treatment.

Actually, that web page no longer exists. I’m sorry about that. It appears the website was deleted by the web hosting company.

Okay so can you just tell me?

Well, you need to bring him to a vet as soon as possible. Depending on the amount of spray, it might require several treatments to remove the odor.

Since you have a puppy, there’s a chance he was just sprayed once. You can try giving him a bath to get the skunk smell off. But it will take some time to completely get rid of the odor. It might last for several weeks, or even for a few months.

I’m not sure what else you want to do. Do you want to call an animal behavior specialist? Or just buy a wet/dry vacuum and clean up the rest? Or try an herbal spray to try to remove the odor. Or look up deodorants for dog’s nose.
