So pleased to hear he is doing well!

may be really obvious, but if the glue is on hair then just clip it?

if on skin then I would just leave it if causing no probs, and your vet sounds like a star!

Nah, its on his skin because he clipped his ear. I might just leave it and see what happens...

I'm very grateful to the vet. I should of called whoever was on OOH duty but that particular practice doesn't have any exotic vets. He's an absolute star!

Thanks guys. I'll just leave it then as he seems happy enough.

The vet who did is an exotic vet too - I think he put the glue on as it was really tricky getting the catheter in in the first place as he's super tiny with super tiny veins. Plus he was at deaths door and I don't think he wanted to risk it coming out over night as he really needed the fluids. I'm just grateful to him - he wouldn't be alive if it was for the vet (who drove out to my clinic especially to treat him in the night).

Carry on with bad puns, i love 'em!

I would just leave the glue to naturally break down if not causing any bother to the bun.

Just leave it and it'll come off naturally within a couple of weeks or so.

agree. Rubbing it will surely make at sore and stress him out and all he needs now is to relax.

I agree, for as long as it's not bothering him, it'd be safe to leave until it degrades naturally.

Would be interesting to know if the Millpledge Eaze off works....

Glad to hear the lil chap is better!

You could try vegetable/sunflower oil to break it down. Then some shampoo to remove the oil. It could take a few washes to get back to normal.
