A recipe for cutting through skunk odor is great for cutting through pet stains as well. It's a mixture of peroxide, baking soda, and dish detergent. I mix a small bottle of peroxide, half a cup of baking soda, and a couple squirts of Dawn. I saw a guy on PBS show how it chemically breaks down the skunk odor by breaking apart the molecules, so I decided to try it on cat and dog stains and it worked! I use it whenever our pets have decided to forget everything they have been taught. :)

Won't the peroxide bleach my carpet?
I would test it on an inconspicuous spot first. I have a light colored Berber carpet and hydrogen peroxide doesn't bleach it at all. But a darker carpet might lose some color.
Good luck!
