Question
my cocker spaniel was sprayed by a skunkn last night we left him in his room and the house smellys skunk how can i remove the odour from the house and the dog? plese reply asap thnx

Answer
There is a product called SKUNK-OFF that takes the odor away.  Also, some people advocate using tomato juice as a rinse over the dog to neutralize the skunk odor.  Leave it on for 15 minutes outside and then rinse the dog well.  Apparently, the acid in the juice does something to the skunk secretion.
