Some Solutions to a Nasty Problem<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

by Cate Burnette<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on where you live, your pooch is liable to run into a variety of wild animals on trail walks and his off-leash forays into wooded areas. Squirrel, chipmunks, rabbits, and badgers will have little to no effect on your dog, but what happens when he meets up with a skunk? Your curious pet is quite likely to get sprayed if he insists on checking out this strange, black-and-white little creature.<\/p>\n

Before a skunk sprays, she\u2019ll give off warning signals: she\u2019ll raise her tail, stand up on her hind legs, and stomp her front feet. That<\/em> would be the time to get your dog quickly away from the situation. A skunk\u2019s spray, termed \u201cmercapton,\u201d contains compounds called \u201cthiols\u201d that are not water-soluble, meaning they\u2019re extremely hard to get out of your dog\u2019s fur \u2013 and your clothes \u2013 with a simple shampoo bath. A fresh spray will burn your nose and, if it hits your dog\u2019s eyes, can blind him for up to 2 days. \u00a0If you don\u2019t get rid of the spray immediately, the smell \u2013 and its remnants \u2013 can last for up to 2 years.<\/p>\n
