@Patty:
Badgers here are our problem- mine insist in rolling in badgers' poo which has a horrendous smell which clings for weeks, like skunks I assume, if not cleaned off. I too use a specialist product but as you say to clean round the eyes is very tricky. I feel for you!!
The joys of living in the countryside!! Mind you I'd never change it for town life and I expect you feel the same
One time I "babysat" two German Shepherds for a friend who was out of the country for two months. They were out back of their house, which backed up into the woods, and came home totally skunked! One at a time, I took them into the shower with me, put their paws on my shoulders and doused us all in huge cans of tomato juice - after about four whole cans apiece, I washed them with regular dog shampoo, and it did take the smell away, so I recommend tomato juice to everybody whose dog gets skunked. Face and all, they kept their eyes closed so it didn't get in there. I must say however, my husband thought the whole scene was very funny, me in the shower with huge GS's and all that tomato juice to clean off the walls later.:eek:
