shel0306 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 My vet wrapped my Greys foot injury and told me to rewrap daily. The wrap they used appears to be sticky and stuck right to her fur in spots. She is not letting me mess with it a lot, I'm trying to cut a little bit at a time but I'm not getting so far. Is there something I can put on this sticky wrap to make it less sticky and easier to get off without pulling her hair out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greysmom Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Anything oily - olive oil, vegetable oil, peanut butter - will de-stick tape stuck to fur or hair. Work it in and leave it for a minute or two. IMO, oil works best because they just want to lick peanut butter!

juliemac Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 the oily products (esp. peanut butter) will be perfect to get the wrap off, but getting the oil off the fur to apply a new bandage will be nearly impossible, so use sparingly!

Batmom Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Ask your vet if they have adhesive remover. They ought to. Comes in little packets. Works great.

MP_the4pack Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Use peanut butter, then when the wrap comes off, your dog will clean off the PB and then you can rewrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XTRAWLD Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hope you got the wrap off ok! When you rewrap, are you able to use something else? Most vet wraps shouldn't stick to fur like that.

Victor Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 You may be able to get Detachol adhesive remover from your vet. It works well for removing sticky bandaging. Mineral oil is another over-the-counter option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighsayer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 If I'm using vetericyn on the wound, I usual spray some on the top of the wrap and let it drip down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
