Skunk killers

[Mr T]

hate to bring this up, but you should probably test that skunk for rabies. My dog got one several years and it tested positive. Skunks are one of the largest carriers of rabies. Your dogs will need treatment and quarantine if it tests positive.

I thought rabies was transported through saliva only?

That is correct! If your dog killed it, they prolly swapped spit somewhere in the battle.
