I think I'd go ahead and order the belly band, just to save myself from all this laundry!

So the little bugger got a clean bill of health from the urinalysis today.
I picked up an Adaptil collar and some CBD chews. Gonna start with the Adaptil and see if it helps first. If not, will add the gummies. I don't want to start both at once because if it works, then I won't know which one.
I think he has PTSD from the skunk spray. Last night, about 2AM (I had just fallen asleep after staying up waaaaay later than usual reading), when he wakes us up barking up a storm. It took us a second to realize a skunk had just sprayed outside our bedroom window, and it was suffocating (we have been sleeping with the windows open lately as the weather has been beautiful). We closed up the windows as fast as we could and turned on the AC. But the house smelled like skunk until this afternoon (we opened all windows when we got up for the day). I moved to the living room sofa last night, but the smell was just circulated by the AC. So I went down to the family room in the basement to sleep - there really was no smell down there. But I slept horrible, and by our pooch's barking, we could tell he KNEW what was out there - his hearing is horrible, so we know it was the smell that startled him.
All windows will be closed tonight at bedtime! And if we smell a spray again, we will have to start looking for a place the skunk might be living under the house. 馃槼

Aww, maybe the dog has been detecting the presence of Monsieur LePieu for a while, if there is any chance the skunk is hanging out under any part of the house. All he knows to do in case of critter intrusion is to bark and mark, perhaps? Often we have wondered what the heck drove a radical midnight behavior from one of our dogs, and a vet would guess they probably heard something out there. Is your dog a terrier breed?
