Answer 1

Q-TIP and BABY OIL - gently work the baby oil into the places where your pup is stuck with a q-tip.

Answer 2

here is some gennaral info i found on the web :

With rare exception, all insect and rodent glue traps use the same basic chemistry of glue, so no matter how thick the layer is or what color of paper it is spread on, you can deal with the inadvertent mess in pretty much the same way. On the product information for some of the glue traps the manufacturer will provide suggestions, and one of the clean-up materials they have suggested is "mineral spirits". Two common products you can purchase at any home improvement or hardware store that are classified as mineral spirits are Turpentine and good old Paint Thinner. Paint thinner is probably the less obnoxious of these choices, as the odor of turpentine can be pretty high.

So, depending on the surface that you have accidentally gotten glue onto, paint thinner could be a good choice for dissolving the glue and removing it. You then might thoroughly wash that area with the appropriate cleaner to remove any traces of the paint thinner, but at least the glue has been dealt with. This could work well for skin, floors, walls, or even carpets. It also would probably work well for pets, should a cat or dog investigate the glue tray that had been placed where the pet, unfortunately, had access to it. The tray itself can be slowly pulled away from skin or hair, and the residual glue then cleaned off the surface.

For animals though, particularly kittens, puppies, birds, or other possibly sensitive animals where paint thinner might have a irritating effect on the animal, there are other choices. Since it may not really be known what kinds of sensitivities certain animals have to chemicals of any kind, it would be nice to have an alternative. In speaking with many professional pest management technicians, here is a short list of other solvents that they have used, successfully, in removing the glue:

Dishwashing liquid detergent
Hand creams
Rubbing alcohol
Cooking oil
Peanut butter or regular butter
It appears that many kinds of oily materials will dissolve the glue, so removing it from sensitive skin, hair, or feathers with cooking oil seems to be a fairly benign method that does not run the risk of irritating the skin of an animal. You probably really would not want to dip your parakeet in paint thinner, but a material less likely to cause irritation would be a better choice. Once the glue is removed the area can then be washed with soap and water to remove any unwanted oiliness, and everything should be normal again.

I hope that helps-sorry if it sounds a little silly :)

Answer 3

Try the vegetable oil immerse the entire foot into it. In the meantime you can cut down the size of the glue trap to just cover the bottom of the puppies foot so other things don't get stuck on it.

Answer 4

Is he panicking? DON'T LET HIM LICK THE TRAP OR THE PAW!!! The glue on those things are very poisonous to children and pets! Try to put the paw/trap in warm water and gently pull it off. If it comes off discard the trap and massage the paw in a warm wet towel. You can put Vaseline to sooth the paw but cover it so he doesn't lick it.

Answer 5

While you wait for answers,read the box the trap came in to see if there is a customer service # to call,then ask them . Some glues and gums come off with the ice cube treatment. Maybe try some dawn dishsoap,they use this to clean animals soiled with oil.

Answer 6

all the name brand dog foods are good. they are actually regulated with more scrutiny than people food. i prefer beneful. dry dog food is best. look for the "puppy food" on label, it has milk additives. stay on puppy chow for 6 months to 1 year. potty training should start right away. as soon as your puppy finishes each meal or a large drink of water, take it out to "go potty outside" praise your puppy when it goes potty outside. stick with one phrase. take it out often, especially if it starts sniffing around at a place on the floor for no apparent reason. scold it when it goes in the house. some people say rubbing the dogs nose in it when it goes in the house is cruel and i partially agree, do so only as a last resort. make up a box or hutch for sleeping time at night. dogs will not go potty in their "bedroom". it should be about two to three foot square. lead training can begin right away also. traditional lead training says dog on left, but it is more important to for dog to learn to keep pace with you and not lead you. when it is straining at the end of leash stand still till it stops pulling. when it walks at your side, praise it. new collars as it grows. if you can slip it over their ears, it is too loose. if you cannot slide a couple of fingers easily between collar and neck, too tight. regular collar like a belt is best. choke collars are cruel. NO HUMAN MILK! her weight will come up on it's own, don't worry. a little can puppy food will help, about a half a can at a time. mix it with the dry puppy food. as soon as her ribs stop showing, go back to dry food only. you should be able to see the last rib and a defined stomach throughout the dog's whole life. kennel cough sounds like if you are sneezing into a handkerchief. if she is doing this a lot, take to vet. get signed up with a vet right away. your puppy will need about three visits over the first five or six months, shots etc... then you will just need monthly heartworm and flea preventitave (get from your vet) annual exams and shots.

Answer 7

those traps are the most cruel things I know... Some stores wont even sell them becuase of the cruelty involved. the poor mouse suffers a disgusting death, stuck to the paper, not just its feet but sometimes its whole body - imagine if your puppy were tiny or the paper were huge what a horrible experience it would be

if you have problems with mice DO NOT use these traps - they are sick sick sick

sorry I dont know how to help your pup beyond that

Answer 8

Try a product called goo gone or goo be gone! It will take the residue off then Wash your pups paw very well and towel dry.

What those pups won't get into!!!!!

Answer 9

Try the oil first. If that does not work than try the Goo Gone, but only if it is safe to use on skin. If that does not work go to the vet.

Answer 10

Rubbing alcohol should do the trick. If it doesn't work it should wear off eventually in a week or just a few days.
