jackofhearts Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi all, I am the proud owner of a gorgeous Australian Shepherd puppy named Maverick. When Maverick arrived two weeks ago ,his ears were glued down by the breeder. Only problem is that I am having trouble getting them unstuck! They have a lot of glue on them and it has caused a large hard area that looks impossible to get scissors through without causing damage to his ears. I s there anything I can use to help disolve the glue without hurting my puppy.Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nail polish remover (with acetone) soaked in a cottonball can help dissolve the glue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 You can pick up a bottle of Zoff Universal Adhesive remover from the chemist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisovar Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Have you spoken to your pups Breeder? First port of call :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 what's the rush to remove it ? When we glue, we hope that it's going to hold for at least a couple of weeks. Speak to your breeder first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teekay Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Yep, I'd say leave it if possible. Wait till the hair has grown and then you may be able to snip around it, very carefully. When I tried gluing Luka's ears as a pup, I think the thing I did wrong was not use enough glue. We now have upsy daisy ears at 18 months. I recently posted pics in the Aussie thread. You should pop on over there. Lots of fellow Aussie lovers :D Oh and absolutely need some photos of the new addition :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofhearts Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hi, We have a show in two weeks so thought it was about time to remove the glue. No problem with asking the breeder just thought I would get a quicker response from the forum. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I would leave it until much closer to the show. Ears can move a lot in 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Zoff is quite good on adhesives, but a few safety precautions, be careful in an enclosed area because of the odour, absolutely don't splash any near his eyes, put it on cotton wool first, and after you've applied it, rinse the ears with water. It can be quite irritating to the mucous membranes and it stinks. :) Edited August 16, 2013 by Staff'n'Toller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancinbcs Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Leave the glue on for as long as possible. Ask the breeder what they use to remove it and do not cut the hair or his ears will looked awful. Only the remove the glue the day of or the day before you bath him for the show.
