Pain patch adhesive removal PAIN PATCH ADHESIVE REMOVAL Cody underwent surgery March 29. Instead of giving him pain meds, they used a pain patch on his hind quarters. They shaved an area appox. 6x6 inches, on the left & right hind quarters, the pain patch was 4x4 inches with adhesive on the back. When they removed the pain patch I could feel a very slight stickiness on the 4x4 area. His hair has started to grow back in the 6x6 area, however, the 4x4 area that held the adhesive backing pain patch has gotten darker, but I don’t feel any hair growing. My concern is, his hair is growing UNDER the adhesive, but the adhesive is not allowing the hair to come through the adhesive kinda like smothering the new hair that‘s trying to grow. The adhesive needs to be removed. Does anyone know what kind of cream I can use to remove this adhesive to allow his hair to grow, I fear since the hair cannot pass through the adhesive it will grow back into his skin. A cream that is safe in case he licks that area. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |
Try using olive oil, use a rag and rub in a circle, keep adding more olive oil until area is clean. |
thank you, I will do that as soon as Sir Cody wakes up from his after breakfast nap. |
Doesn't peanut butter remove some sticky things too? Also, try rubbing alcohol. |
Olive oil or coconut oil work well, let it sit for a couple of minutes first to start loosening the adhesive. You may need to work in through the hair with your fingers and nails to get completely out. Safe to lick and good for the skin. |

The surgeons I use recommend Goo Gone. Unisolve is another remover. |

I am surprised it stuck like that...and for three weeks? I would think bathing would have removed it. I would probably call the vet and ask about it. |

for cooking. It's a solid at room temp and then quickly liquifies. It smells delicious! Bonus with the count oil, it's awesome to use in between shampoos to soften the dog's hair and work out mats. |

Goo Gone can be obtained from a hardware store or maybe wal mart. You are correct in using only a small amount and then rinsing well. |
If using Goo Gone, I would wash that off with Dawn dish detergent afterward and rinse well, and don't let the Goo Gone sit on the skin very long. When using peanut butter, it may need to be left on for 15-30 minutes to break down the adhesives, and in my experience, only Jif brand works. |
Goo gone is sold in places like the dollar store of Walmart. As for safety, it has a MSDS sheet here: http://googone.com/c.983960/site/gg/MSDS/goo%20gone.pdf |
