We had a guy come to uni with a descented skunk. He was the cutest thing ever and fell asleep on my arm! That's the skunk, not the guy who bought him in

Haha!! Surely the clients couldn't have expected a reaction other than that? I've never seen a skunk in real life, but wouldn't find it strange that they actually smell

Cute things though looking at Emma's pictures!

I met a descented skunk fairly early in my nursing career - had been purchased from Harrods. still smelt fairly pungent to me tho! - in fact that was the presenting problem. My vets reaction ' its a bleeding skunk what do you expect?' which he actually said to the client. the vets reaction and the clients reaction to what he had said I just had to go into the kennel room until I could control my giggling. Havnt seen a skunk since

That is odd! Had yours been de-scented? Ours had but I am not sure that it is legal to do so. I know it has been banned in most states in the USA.

just in case you get perfumed! be sure to get a couple cans of pureed or chopped tomatoes and some white vinagar for a bath! :) yum yum we have them all over in the US.

As far as I know you are allowed to import descented skunks but you cant have them done in this country.
