To clean the skunk, you will need to skin the skunk. The best way to skin a skunk is to first put on a pair of rubber gloves.
Next, use a sharp knife to make a small cut around the skunk‘s neck. Then, carefully peel the skunk‘s skin away from its body. Finally, cut off the skunk‘s paws and tail.
Then, you will need to gut the skunk and remove the brains. The brain may have prion.
You will then need to de-gland the skunk. The skunk glands are located near the base of the tail. To remove them, a veterinarian will need to make an incision in the area and carefully remove the glands.
After the de-glanding, set it in some warm soapy water for 5 minutes and rinse all areas, especially the anal area very well.
