Hydrogen peroxide + baking soda + liquid dish soap: it worked. Apparently the mixture releases oxygen compounds that bond with thiols and neutralize their smell. http://kwc.org/blog/archives/2004/2004- ... proof.html
I'll bet the smell will be gone... And I'll bet the dog will be too...

Just don't call him skunkbreath though - he's been through enough already!
You’re still grinning, we’re still winning, nothing left to say
I’m still gliding as I go flying down this endless wave
Before I moved from Oklahoma, my little dog got sprayed numerous times..
I kinda got used to the smell, and she apparently didn't get a direct hit...but it seemed that leaving her outside as much as possible reduced the strong smell each day...
much better than rolling in something dead...which she's done here in Georgia, and cost her a night...outside !!!
When it goes from full to crescent...I move in and out of tune...Everlasting Moon....
thank you all for your ideas (and concern for new nicknames ) am going to stop at the store on the way home tonite for the douche stuff and try it. Then as a last resort find a way to use the peroxide recipe without hurting his eyes
BTW - not his breath - it still just smells like doggie breath
if you beat the everlovin' s*** outta him you may accomplish two things. One he won't do it again and two he'll have s*** on himself so he won't smell like skunk anymore
When they run you out of town make it look like you are leading the parade.
BTW - this is an "older" dog - he does not chase things anymore. It's quite rare for us to get "wild" animals in our neighborhood but there are numerous open fields within a mile of us that are being developed right now so these animals are basically being kicked out of their homes and are looking for another. My guess is Chase was "curious" and the skunk was scared sh$tless by his size
