Playing Doctor

Jun 17, 2010 01:09

I went in for a physical today. My doctor (physician's assistant) had all sorts of things to ask about and check up on. When she got to the part where she was gloving up and lubing the speculum, she asked if I wanted a nurse in there with us. I asked, "Like, in case you might molest me or something?" She said, "Right, like that." I bit my ( Read more... )

Oo, I feel for you on the skunk smell on dogs. No fun.

You probably already know this, but baking soda mixed with peroxide and a little dish soap can help. It's a lot better than tomato juice anyway. Good luck!

I did some googling. Best when used right away (shit), best when rubbed in well (Wilbur's going to HATE it), and best when done outside with a hose. Chows do not like having their faces messed with and that's the worst of it on him. No idea how to keep it out of his eyes.

Gonna have to try it, I guess. Thank you.

Good luck! Let me know how it works out.

They're much better. Still a little whiffy, but not too bad.

1. Your doctor must think you're such a welcome change of pace from her usual patients.

2. oh no! Skunk! And you let them back into the house? oof there's a stench. Good luck with trying to get the smell to go away.

It's tolerable mssaskia June 21 2010, 08:34:18 UTC

I think it could've been waaaay worse. There's some residual funk, but you have to get close to them for a hug and a kiss to get a clear whiff. I think we got off easy.

Gahhhh! Both of them got skunked???

Oh man, you better keep them out of the house, if it's not too late. Skunk smell travels. You're gonna have skunky-smelling carpets, furniture, anything they spend any time in contact with.

I've been through this only once, and it was just a glancing "contact with floating skunky vapors" thing, not a direct spray. And it was a teacup toy poodle at that, so there was considerably less doggie mass to become odorized. But even that was bad enough....

My deepest sympathies for you.

It wasn't TOO bad mssaskia June 21 2010, 08:33:24 UTC

We did peroxide and baking soda on them and that fixed them up pretty well. There's a little residual funk but it's tolerable. I don't think Wilbur will say hi to strange "kitties" quite as quickly anymore.
