Tomato juice and time!
We had two miniature poodles, when we lived up there, who got let out about midnight "for the last time" and obviously came face to face with a skunk. We let them both in before we even realized it was on them and not just a smell outside. One dove under the couch and one on it...both rubbing their faces frantically. The smell up close is just about paralyzing. We were lucky enough to have a can of tomato juice and bathed them both as best we could. A "festive evening" was had by all,let me tell you. We could hardly sleep for the smell. It took LOTS of tomato juice baths over the next week and we sprayed everything we could think of on and under the couch....mostly tons of Lysol. The smell lingered somewhat for a month or more...FINALLY it went away (or we got used to it and heaven knows what any guest might have thought!!). Tomato juice did work...just took some time for it ALL to go away. You have my utmost sympathy, AW!!
