My sympathies. I'm glad to know what your vet suggested. Let us know if it works. Years ago I had read that the best way to clean a dog from skunk spray was with tomato juice. Your vet's suggestions sounds better. And I sympathize about the 90 degree heat. I wilt when it gets into the 80's. My family thinks there's something wrong with me, because i even start complaining about being too hot when ithe thermometer says 75. When I have my physical I'm going to mention it to the doctor. I'm many years past hot flashes, so I know it isn't that. I hope it cools off for you soon. How's your basement doing? Growing anything?
