Jennifer Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Dog got a hold of a tube of superglue. Bit into it and glued the hair on her upper lip (her little mustache) to her teeth and gums. Just a bit of lip involved and glued to just 2 teeth. She can drink and eat. Vet visit or will it wear off eventually? She looks silly. Lip curled up, like she's sneering at us.

Celia Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 That's hilarious!!! Poor poochie! I think I'd scour the internet for how to deal with superglue mishaps, as even the vet probably hasn't come across this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 This case study from the British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery suggests using margerine: http://www.hawaii.edu/hivandaids/How_to_Remove_Superglue_from_the_Mouth__Case_Report.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Oh, I'm so sorry, but I did laugh out loud at the title! Never a dull moment in this place! I'd probably be worried about her ingesting the chemicals or doing something to rip her lip. I'd call the vet and I'd be interested to hear if they've ever seen this problem!

Laurie4b Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 It will wear off, though if it bothers her, she might detach it herself. However, even if there is a little bleeding, it will be in the mouth and mucous tissue heals fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'll say call the vet but I am not sure what they can do until it wears off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mommyof4ks Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I would call the vet, but basically that is what is used liquid stitches, so it will probably wear off on time. Sorry to day I am laughing at the moment. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Vet visit for sure. It must be horribly uncomfortable for the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary in VA Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I feel sorry for your doggy, but this did make me laugh out loud. If your pooch would cooperate, couldn't you just trim the hair. It would still be stuck to her gums and teeth, but she would probably be much more comfortable. I would think the glue would wear off and the fur would then fall off the teeth/gums.

Jennifer Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I did giggle. :) I rubbed the spot with peanut butter which she then licked like crazy and she unstuck herself. There is still a bit of hair stuck to her teeth. I have no idea where she found the superglue. I did call the vet and, after he laughed, he reminded me that she is like a toddler and has to be watched constantly. Or put in her play pen :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope her feelings weren't too hurt by the laughing. (Mine always give me this sheepish look when I laugh at them.) Over all I think dogs are easier than kids, but even they have thier moments.

Lizzie in Ma Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have no idea but thanks for the laugh, I needed it this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plink Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 My daughter did that. It seemed like it should be a big scary disaster. It wasn't. Superglue dissolves in saliva. Your doggie probably wasn't too comfy for a little bit though. Poor thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Glad she's unstuck now, but that is so funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
