My dog got skunked this morning

Uggghhh...

I always keep a baby gate on the back deck and make her stay up there unless it's light out. This morning a little after 7, I took the gate down and she went out to do her business. Then she started going crazy, barking and growling in the corner of the yard by a tree. Sure enough, there was a skunk and it sprayed. She tried to fight it. I threw her in the tub with some skunk shampoo (thank God I had some!).

Now I'm worried that the skunk might have had rabies and bit her. It was way too light out for him to be out. I have a call into the vet. This is the same dog that ate a bag of grapes last week and had to have her stomach pumped. It's a good thing she's so cute!

I didn't see any punture wounds but she has really long hair and a lot of it. Would it have been obvious? She's up to date on her shots

Omg. I hope there are no wounds, and that the skunk shampoo does its job.

Also, go you for having skunk shampoo!
