We have lots of skunks here. You can tell when they are about. Our hound, Pepper, got sprayed because she is a bit of a doofus. The little guy... the Jack Russell/Dachshund mix... is usually fearless... but he's also smarter than her. He just hauled ass out of there. I went online and looked up the best treatment from vet sites and then my wife went out and bought the products and gave her a couple of baths. Like you, the house stank for several days.
I almost got sprayed myself once. I was walking to the side door of the house with the dog we had at the time, Guenevere. I saw some critter moving in the shadows and luckily pulled Gwennie back on the leash. I thought it was a Raccoon as we had lots of them around... and then I realized it was a skunk. I yelled out "Skunk!" Grabbed Gwennie and ran back to the car... only to find my wife had locked the doors. I yelled "What the hell are you thinking?! Was the skunk going to open the car door?"
