Hamster stuck in glue trap, how to remove glue from fur?

You need to put oil on the fur where the duct tape is attached, you can use mineral oil or Vaseline, if you don't have any olive oil will also do. then slowly and gently try to separate the duct tape. it may take some time and patience but it will come off eventually.

for right now, keeping Eliot fed & providing adequate moisture is the key. Soaking his pellets, offering fruit & vegetable baby foods, even using Oxbows Critical Care for bunnies is appropriate. If he is still symptomatic on Monday, have your veterinarian evaluate him in case he needs deworming or an antibiotic. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach, & sorry for the disconnect. The dog hit return on my keyboard.

You'll need to have him physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose and treat any injury. In the absence, keep him warm and as stress free as possible. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite, difficulty walking or moving, bruising or swelling.

Vegetable or mineral should have removed a majority of the residue. You can use a fine toothed comb to "brush" out the rest of it. Once you're done, cleanse the area with a few drops of Dawn dish soap and warm water.

She may be painful and dehydrated and undernourished. An immediate check up at your local vet is required to have a better clinical picture and treat appropriately. Pain relief meds and eventually antibiotics (if there is any sign of infection) are possibly required. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Thanks for reaching out about Glitter and including a photo. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess for trauma but also pain. The eye can be examined and treatments prescribed. Monitor appetite and water consumption. Don't wait too long. Good luck.

You can try olive oil or vegetable oil and rub it gently into the mat of glue on your cat's fur. Continue to rub the oil into the glue until it loosens the glue from the fur. You could also bathe her with Dawn dish soap and see if that helps. Another option is to buy a pair of clippers and shave the areas that have glue. I believe that most of the sticky fly trap papers are not toxic but you should check the packaging to confirm. It might cause some gastric upset if she licks a lot of it.
