So, your dog got into contact with skunk, and it smells horrible?
What do you do?
Skunks get really aggressive in Spring and summer when giving birth and defending their young, so the smell goes with it. The gas they produce called butyl mercaptan which,
to your amusement is used by the Militaries around the world for biological warfare ( shhh, I did not tell you that).
