What did my dog get sprayed with that wasn’t a skunk? Horrible chemical smell. He couldn’t open his eyes. We live in the county with a fenced in yard. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 7 months old | 17 lbs

I am afraid, without actually smelling your dog, I could not tell you. However you should give your dog a bath and see whether you can wash off whatever he was sprayed with. This still may have been a skunk. If your dog still cannot open his eyes, he will have to be seen by a veterinarian after being washed, preferably this morning.
