Default Dog sprayed in mouth by a skunk

Yes it happend to me just like many other dog owners in North America, my
dog was sprayed by a skunk in our suburban back yard. But you see my
situation is a little uncommon (at least to me) because my JRT, was spayed
in the mouth and face.

We manage to get most of the horribel smell off of her, but when she
breaths.....or barks........
my god its terrible. ( and shes on the floor and i'm 6' tall)

Should I bring her to the vet, I'd rather not if possible. So if any one has
any tipps I would greatly appreciat them.

Thank you soo much

Well, first - my sympathies regarding the skunk! As for the general smell,
thry this recipe. Our clients give us good feedback.

1 QT Hyrdogen Peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda
1 tsp liquid soap

Mix all ingredients. Wash and rinse well with warm water. Be careful around
the eyes.

It could be that the smell is still quite ripe on the face. The poor breath
could also be a sign of a tooth gone bad or another infection in the mouth
or throat - just to throw out other possibilities. So see the vet if it
doesn't get better or someone else doesn't chime in with a better solution.

Don't know if it's available commercially, but in our office we use a
product called Groom-Aid to quick spray a pet if they have a bit of a bad
smell. We call it "Man in a Can" because it smells like a great men's smooth
cologne!

of the skunk. P-U)

Just happened to us as well.
We got some snake oil at Petsmart (round bottle, Nature's something).
Just put it on so we'll see how it works. I'm not very patient so might so
with a quick vinegar rinse now too.
What have you done?
