If your dog gets sprayed by a skunk in their eyes you should use some baking soda and some baby shampoo and wash their face around their eyes as much as you can without getting soap in their eyes.

Then use some mineral oil and or eye lubricant for the dogs eyes to help flush their eyes out of the skunk spray.

You should also give the dog a bath in some baking soda and water and also use some hydrogen peroxide in the mixture to help get the skunk spray smell of your dog.

It can sometimes take a few baths to get the skunk smell completely off the dog because skunk spray is very strong and even when you give the dog a bath they still might smell for awhile and need additional baths to get rid of it.

In the mean time you might want to keep the dog outside away from your house to avoid the skunk smell coming into your house.
