OK, so we have a pretty big all fenced in back yard. There is a bike trail directly behind our yard, and it is seperated from our yard by a 6ft chain-link fence. It is about 11pm at night -- pitch black outside. Our dog is outside, he likes to bark at some people on the bike trail, but not everybody.
He has a very deep and scary bark, it sounds like a much bigger and meaner dog, and his fur is all black, so if it's pitch black outside and he barks at somebody, they could get scared. Anyway, we are all watching a movie in the family room, when all of a sudden we smell a strong, distinct skunk smell. My first thought was "oh no -- the dog got sprayed".
I go outside and call for him and he comes, happy, wagging his tail, acting as if nothing is wrong. He was not wet in any way, and at first glance, he looked fine. I let him in the house -- big mistake. The first thing he did was run into the family room and jump on the couch. At this point we noticed a very pungent smell, VERY similar to burning rubber, coming from the dog. There was nothing burning inside or outside, and we also noticed he was HEAVILY drooling (not foaming). So we bring him outside and wipe his face with some paper towels, and sure enough, they smell strongly of the burning-rubber like smell. So we hose him down and dry him off. At this point he has stopped drooling.
I have not really checked to see if he still smells. But the house sure does, especially in the family room where he jumped on the couch. It is a really nasty smell, it is nothing like the skunk that we smelled. It is almost like burning rubber, but worse. Oh I forgot to mention, he was rubbing his face in the dirt outside as if trying to get something off of him.
What the ***** happened? I originally thought skunk because that's what we smelled at first, but like I said, this new smell is totally different and very bad, and it is lingering. Lysol seems to be overpowered by it, not doing anything at all.
Did he get sprayed with some kind of mace by a person on the trail that he scared or something? I know a lot of people are annoyed about the way he barks. I have never seen or used mace, or anything similar, so I would have no idea what it smells like. What the heck do you guys think this is?
