I found a pet skunk earlier today. It came right up to me so its obviously a pet and he didnt spray me at all. He seems a little sick though. Probably because he's been outside and not use to it!! Should I take him to the vet or what? He did bite my friend so we put him in a dog crate for now. Is that ok? I want someone who's a professional to look at it by morning. Thanks :D

  1. A pet skunk??

    Take it to the  vet and skunks spray only if they are scared.i really dont like when people keep such animals as pets.

    It supposed to run at the wild.


  2. u should definitely check him 4 rabies, cuz early symptons r hard to see. lol I would keep him, and post 'lost skunk' posters around, but it depends on ur state of mind on having a pet skunk...lol

  3. I've got news for you. In most states, if not all, it is against the law to have a pet skunk. Also, if an animal is 'sick' with rabies it will walk right up to you! It may not spray either because of the sickness, or visa-versa. You should stay right away from any animal that acts strangely, too friendly, has matted fur.

  4. I suggest you not wait until morning. Your friend could be dead by then.

  5. i want a pet skunk! but take it to the vet 2moro.they'll take it off your hands.

  6. Yes and your friend should go to a doctor as well since s/he was bitten by a skunk that's sick!
