We live on a farm. I've just let the dog out into our orchard (her fave field) for an evening sniff/wee, the same as I do every evening about now. She ran off into the trees and then...didn't come back.
After a few minutes I went looking for her with a torch and realised there was a bunch of deer in there - I could see their eyes and hear them snorting. They ran off when I came near calling for the dog. Eventually the dog came absolutely pelting back to me looking terrified, absolutely covered in mud/bits of field/smears of god knows what, and stinking.
OMG the smell. She has made the whole house stink, some sort of musky putrid smell (not corpse or shit though). And she is so scared, I can't hardly get near her to try and wipe her down. She's just gone and hidden in her bed. I am literally retching from the smell, I've never smelled anything like it before. The DC are out of bed because they could smell it through their closed bedroom door!
Assuming the deer scared her? But she's seen deer plenty of times, they're always wandering around here 
And has she rolled in something (but what??) and tried to hide from them? Or...?
Any tips for de-stinking a scared dog?
