George & Lumpie's posts are correct...
We have to many Jack Russells to mention, live right down on the river.
The supply of skunk's, porcipine, & beaver is endless!!
We keep several of the biggest bottles of peroxide Walmart sells on hand, several big boxes of baking soda, a bottle of dawn dish soap, & a bucket to mix it in down in the green house...we have 2 deepsinks down there & we dont have to worry about stinkin up the house for the bath's!!!
I Just put about half a box of baking soda in, 50/50 water & peroxide, a dab of dawn or if their face we use liquid Ivory (almost always in the face)
Mix that stuff up into a paste that is just a little runny, and "shampoo" the dog with it....make em wear it for a few minutes, rinse & repeat.
We also keep some sort of an eye ointment that is good for soothing their eyes. And a big tube of activated charcoal as well, we almost lost one of our dogs because he had a skunk cornered under an out building...they were under there for about 45 minutes (dont think they were making friends either!!!LOL) before the skunk finally came out & we could catch the dog.
He had ingested so much of that skunks spray, that as soon as he calmed down he had the runs in a bad way, then went to throwing up repeatedly.
We got some charcoal in him pretty quick & it was still hit and miss for awhile, about the time we had decided to head for the vet he started coming around.
DO NOT EVER WET A DOG (or human) BEFORE you get the baking soda paste on.....you WILL make it worse!!!!
Tomato Juice & Ketchup....BS does nothing but feed more energy into the skunks scent, the scent & acid from tomato's for some chemical reason do not like each other!
Dont beleive me? "Google" skunk scent removal & read away!!
We average a dog every 2 weeks every year...this is how we handle it & it works!!!
I know its probably too late for help this go around for you this time, but write the recipe down & keep it & a kit somewhere handy for the next time!!!
Ps: Latex gloves too if you want...we have a box of em down there too...almost forgot!!

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
