My dog recently had surgery and they covered the wound with a bandage that had an adhesive border around the wound site.
We followed the instructions of the vet and when it came to removing the bandage it was so sticky it was pulling at her skin and making her yelp. It was painful. We were scared to continue removing it and wanted to know of something we could use to perhaps dissolve the stickiness.
To remove bandages you can use peanut oil or other types of vegetable oil.
The best oil to use is peanut oil and you simply moisten the bandage by adding the oil a few minutes before you want to remove the bandage.
If you are to replace a bandage using oil is a bit problematic as it makes it hard to get the new bandage to stick to the skin/fur.
I get peanut oil at the pharmacy as this is the cleanest and best type one can get.
