"Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable."

That's my favorite part...

I think the rosy-butted skunk is my favorite part, but that's definitely my second favorite!!!

Who knew baking soda was so volitile!!

Well.... that's actually only because Hydrogen Peroxide quickly breaks down into just water and free oxygen. However, in higher concentrate solutions that makes Hydrogen Peroxide extremely flammable.

the peroxide and **** Mix is great but I had to do Bonnie twice. The second time seem to get most of the smell. She has been hit twice.

My sympathies!!

One of my memories from my childhood is Mom and Dad buying a house on the far edge of town. Nothing behind us except ranch land. One day, a skunk appeared in our back yard . . . the dog was in the house, and was going nuts, barking at the patio door. Mom yelled to my sister (who was about 2 at the time ) and me not to let the dog out. My sister didn't hear "not" . . . poor dog!!

The dog stayed outside for about two weeks after that . . .

I don't think he meant juice that had touched the dog. The mixture is just a basic Bloody Mary.

Just FYI, the only way to "test" for rabies is to chop off the dog's head and send it into a lab for microscopic exam (Can't tell you how many times people have asked me about "testing" for rabies. They generally change their minds pretty quick when I tell them how it is done!

). I would recommend a booster on the rabies vaccine and quarantine IF there is any evidence the dog was bitten. Otherwise, especially if there is a current rabies vaccine on board, should be fine.

Oh, and by the way, the only reason for the tomato juice is the acidity. The other mixture works better, but NOTHING works completely, except time.

Be well,

I just reread his original post, and it did say "use leftover juice" Not the juice from the dog mix. I think i just read it quick and my mind fill in the gaps. I did understand that it was a mix for a bloody mary, i just thought that he said after bathing the dog pour it into a glass and add some vodka.

Oops...
