Pet CareHow to Remove Skunk SmellFrom our Summer 1996 newsletter"We are just passing this information along. Fortunately, we have not had to test it. Mel, our former Caretaker, inadvertently captured a skunk when trying to rescue a lost and frightened cat. When he observed the animal in the cage had a pointed nose and was uncharacteristically marked with broad black and white stripes, he realized that he did not have a cat in the trap!" "....Fortunately, it did not emit its usual 'calling card.' " "A biologist from the West Virginia Department of Agriculture tested the following mixture by dousing a road-kill skunk. The 'fragrant' animal became completely deodorized. 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide formula (from a pharmacy) 1/4 cup baking soda 1 tsp. liquid soap Mix together and wash animal, being careful to keep mixture out of animal's eyes, nose, and mouth. Rinse with tap water. |
