(I told him that wasn't allowed- but it stayed.) Our old dog Sam went nose to nose with a skunk, so did Katie dog, but they just sniffed each other then backed away and left. Thank Goodness. I know tomato juice works, but our vet used to sell something called skunk off. Hope the other skunks stay away!!Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16812879540482740808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-70297477880479214222010-09-04T00:02:39.366-04:002010-09-04T00:02:39.366-04:00wow, what a post! i thought skunks ate beetles and...wow, what a post! i thought skunks ate beetles and bugs...or eggs? so they kill chickens? interesting about that naturals miracle. thanks so much for sharing this! so sorry about the kitty and the guinea. hope they settle down soon.Kritter Keeper at Farm Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289022593889972949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-85813645409545169442010-09-04T00:02:35.100-04:002010-09-04T00:02:35.100-04:00wow, what a post! i thought skunks ate beetles and...wow, what a post! i thought skunks ate beetles and bugs...or eggs? so they kill chickens? interesting about that naturals miracle. thanks so much for sharing this! so sorry about the kitty and the guinea. hope they settle down soon.Kritter Keeper at Farm Tailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289022593889972949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-63017025481335529392010-09-03T23:03:51.963-04:002010-09-03T23:03:51.963-04:00So much for peaceful mornings.

Have you ever seen Nature's Miracle. I buy it by the gallon at our feed store. I have had to spray the outside of my house with it, my dog, my cats, and it works amazing. I got skunk on my hands and water makes it worse but putting that stuff just takes it away. <br />There is nothing worse than that smell. I smelled it so much the last time I had to go run errands and I could smell that some perfume companies must use scent from skunks as a base because I could smell it on some women wearing perfume. <br />At least it didn't get your chickens.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-33655209131501294362010-09-03T18:56:52.395-04:002010-09-03T18:56:52.395-04:00ewwwww.

There are things you can mix up to help with the smell, I just can't recall what. It's all online, though. Good luck bathing the ginea hen. I love them, they are so helpful. I'm glad you let them back in with the chickens.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308936425009794278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-81096754068832184172010-09-03T18:52:55.915-04:002010-09-03T18:52:55.915-04:00That thing must have been starving.

At least you don't have to worry about it coming back.<br /><br />NOW: Time to catch a guinea(works for people too).<br />1/2 bucket of water, mix in 1 quart(2 bottles) of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide, and 1 to 2 teaspoons of liquid soap(dish detergent works too).<br /><br />Then add 1/4 cup of baking soda. DO NOT PUT IN A CLOSED CONTAINER.<br /><br />Using rubber gloves, Wash pet throughly with mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Repeat if needed.<br /><br />I am thinking it will work for the area sprayed too if you soak down the area, let stand, and then spray off.<br /><br />Good luck with the smell,<br />~~Matt~~Foothills Poultryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07266877566073323498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390619032396490344.post-76156623241959415752010-09-03T18:52:06.179-04:002010-09-03T18:52:06.179-04:00The health department will have it checked for rab...The health department will have it checked for rabies, they must have the head...call them.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.com
