This morning I put my Papillons outside to potty; I don’t know HOW or why, but my young hooligan Bunny somehow got tangled up with a fly strip. I had several hanging around to help keep flies out of the house and I assume one of them fell, and Bunny, being Bunny, HAD to investigate.
So now her chest & belly is all gummy with brown sticky stuff. Any sugestions on how to get it out?
Vegetable oil.
I once had to remove a parakeet from the fly strip.
Oh, poor bird!! Was it ok?
I called my vet and he reccomended using rubbing alcohol; it’s worked pretty well but not completely. I’ll break out the vegtable oil! Thanks!
He was fine.
We rescued him before he got too tangled up.
The package for the fly strips actually called for the vegetable oil. Of course, a shampoo will soon be in order.
I was going to suggest Goo Gone followed immediately by a bath, but if veg oil will do the job, so much the better.
Goo Gone is pretty non-aggressive and non-toxic, but almost everyone has vegetable oil in the kitchen.
I was going to suggest a professional groomer. I had my vet recommend one to me, and I’m very happy with them. It’s only around 20 bucks for a maintenance visit. The first big shave and bath was uhh, 35 or 40 bucks I think.
Any way, good luck!
I think vegetable should do the trick. I’ve used it on all kinds of adhesives.
