How do I get dead animal smell off my dog ?

My dog decided to roll around in a dead rabbit carcass and he stinks ! He's been bathed (3 times !) but it's still lingering. I live in the UK so we don't have anti-skunk treatments and tomato sauce hasn't helped that much. Any advice appreciated.

    I have a few solutions that we use on dogs that have been skunked and rolled in dead animals

    Tomato juice is not one of them

    1)tea tree oil plus eucalyptus oil--a few drops of each in some shampoo

    2) (and this works the best-even on skunked dogs) Crest Toothpaste, not the gel. Mix it thoroughly in WARM water. It is difficult to mix. Shampoo the dog with this, (a whole tube on a large dog, 1/2 on a small to med dog).. Lather up and leave on for about 5 min. (it will clear up your sinuses at the same time) then rinse, rinse, rinse, then rinse again. Go through the coat to make sure it is all rinsed out.

    3) baking soda mixed with the shampoo

    4) rub baking soda into the dogs coat (while in the tub) leave for 5- min then shampoo

    My mom had me wash absolutely one of our canines that had a useless scent on it in tomato juice with some lemon juice then cleansing soap. First soak the canines contained in the tomato/lemon juice for a jiffy. Then drain that and wash with cleansing soap. this may eliminate lots of the fragrance. i have also heard it works with skunks yet understand that it worked somewhat properly with that useless scent. i have extensively utilized this at the same time as a domestic dog that i became fostering were given into an previous porcupine den which really has a musky reek. fortunately the porcupines weren't nonetheless there. you should nonetheless scent a number of it because you're pregnant, and pregnant women human beings can scent the smallest of scents like this.
