About 2 months ago, our 5 yr old potty trained dog was skunked in the middle of the night when we let her out to pee. Since that event she's been peeing on the rug and going in the house. She won't use the yard to alleviate herself anymore. She's afraid to even walk toward the area she used to use even if I am with her.
We have secured the perimeter to keep critters out and had all the medical tests done and she's perfectly healthy. She seems traumatized. We are back to crating her at night, but she started doing it during the day when she has access to the outdoors. We don't know how to break her of this, any ideas?

Gosh what a sad story. I can certainly understand where your dog is coming from. If this were my situation I might try taking the dog to the front yard instead of the backyard (if the backyard was where the deed was done) I would take her directly from the crate out the door on a leash. And I would take her for a good long walk to relax her.
