Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / August 2005Dog and Pepper Spray
I'm thoroughly convinced that the electric meter reader sprayed one of my dogs with pepper spray. The dog is okay, but when I pet him or hug him I feel the burning from the pepper spray. I don't know if anyone here can help, but please respond if you know the best way to remove the pepper spray from the dog's coat. Is it as simple as giving him a thorough bath, or will that just spread it around? Thanks in advance,  Signature8^)~~~ Sue (remove the x to e-mail) ~~~~~~ "I reserve the absolute right to be smarter today than I was yesterday." -Adlai Stevenson http://www.suzanne-eckhardt.com/ http://www.intergnat.com/malebashing/ http://www.intergnat.com/pussygames/ I know with CS, decontamination is the only way to make the burning stop. Avoid rubbing affected areas because this tends to spread any residual agent and work it into open pores. Irrigate with lots of water. With CS, irrigation at first, makes the burning more intense, but that subsides. I had a dog that was maced (CN gas) and her eyes and nose had significant irritation and discharge. She was miserable. We rinsed her off right away and took her to the vet for a steroid shot. Here are the instructions for a human Washing the face and eyelids with a mild, oil-free soap (e.g., Ivory) will help break down the oily OC resin and speed its removal from the skin. After any spray exposure, the skin should be blotted dry rather than rubbed and care should be taken to avoid recontamination from used towels. As the symptoms abate and the patient is able to open the eyes, it is helpful to irrigate the upper and lower palpebral cul-de-sac because spray residuals tend to collect in these locations and become entrapped.
