Non-Car ??? For The Country Boys...
So a couple of nights ago Bones went out just before bedtime and decided to play with a skunk. He got sprayed on the side of the face, neck & ear and his collars took a hit, too. The contain & train collar is a soft, pliable plastic with a radio receiver unit, all water proof. The center is two pieces and has a very tight joint, shown by the blue/gray interface, and the flexible ends are on shouldered screws.
Does anyone know how to get "Eau De Skunk" out of such a unit? It's obvious that the oily spray got into the recesses. Things that don't work are soaking in the H peroxide, baking soda, dishwashing soap, club soda mix that works for the dog; scrubbing with straight dishwashing soap; mineral spirits, brake cleaner, denatured alcohol; soaking in bleach & water; and WD40. The picture's not great, but you can see the construction joint. The blue/gray parts cannot be disassembled without rendering the collar ineffective and voiding the return credit when the batteries are gone. Innotek is actually sending me a new collar as a courtesy under warranty, but I'm sure this could happen again ..... The aroma is diminished, but definitely still present.

Not on plastic, Jerry, and not very well on pets. A mix of soda, hydrogen peroxide, club soda (optional) with a shot of dishwashing detergent is much better to get a pet de-skunked.

We picked up a product from our vet whenever ours "play" with the wildlife... not cheap but it works great!
Call your vet!

for the tomato juice to work I think you're supposed to mix it with vodka and tobasco then keep drinking it till you no longer smell skunk.....

Well, I was in search of a smart-a$$ response but found this instead....it probably won't cure the skunk smell but maybe take your mind off it for a few minutes..... Originally Posted by 34_40

Yeah, as a follow up I decided to try an experiment with the bright orange web collar that got sprayed, so i put the peroxide, soda & soap solution in a pot and boiled the collar for about 30 minutes. It dried just about odor free, that is until I set it out in the sun for a final airing. The sunlight "reactivated" the skunk smell!!Roger

Hell, we here in New Zealand just don't appreciated how lucky we are with our " Wild Life " . I think the only thing that can stink real bad is a road kill oppossum but then the KFC people gather them up too quick to recycle so they don't even get too smelly.I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Maybe we need to lobby for a few breeding pairs to be exported, just for educational purposes! Then when someone calls you a "polecat", or you hear someone referred to as "...a dirty polecat" in an old US Western movie you'll have a good point of reference to what is meant....

That might happen in the cities, but out in the rural areas a lot of folk pick the possums up, take them home and pluck them. Originally Posted by Whiplash23T

haha. Sorry, I think this should be in the joke thread :-)
I wouldn't have a clue what stink/smell a skunk makes, guess we're lucky down here.

Ok, I'll bite. What's a chook?.
