[nagdu] Skunk!

[Raven Tolliver]

The Golden Guy has been skunked twice. You can usually smell their
body to see which particular area was sprayed. Both times, I scrubbed
him  down with lavender liquid castile soap, then scrubbed him down
with white vinegar, let is sit for five minutes, then another scrub
down with the lavender soap.
The 2nd time, he got sprayed right in the face, so I made a homemade
saline solution and dropped 2 drops in each eye 3 times a day for 2
days. I also rubbed cold-pressed coconut oil on his eyelids to
eliminate any irritation.
A faint smell did linger for a couple days, so if it happens again,
I'll definitely go right to Andy's recipe.
