Will adhesive remover help eas the pain when unwrapping the ears? I was thinking about soaking the tape while on the ears?

Yes adhesive remover will help big time. I use it everytime I unwrap ears.

OMG yes! I dont attempt it w/o it. I bought some stupid expensive stuff- then rapidly switched to goo gone! works like a champ.

I suppose you just saturate the bandages? Will it hurt the ears?

The stuff I use I order from my clinic. I have no idea where it comes from normally but man is it a lifesaver for everything! We use it to remove catheters and bandages. At home I use it for unwrapping ears. It sprays right on so I can direct it where ever I want, let it soak a little bit, and it peels right off. It leaves the ears a bit greasy afterwards so I usually take a little cottonball of alcohol and rub the ears a bit. Once dry I can repost. It comes in a white bottle with teal/blue writing. I'm sure it's generic because I haven't found a brand name yet that I can remember. It's just called Spray Bandage Adhesive Remover.

First I take bandage scissors and cut down the length of the tape on the top side of the ear. Then I put Goo Gone on a Q-tip and run that along the edges of the tape. Comes right off.

watch the video at the top of the puppy forum. the guy shows how he uses the adhesive remover when taking the tape off. i definitely wouldn't try taking the tape off with out it

First I try to cut as much off as I can then the stuff that's physically attached to the ears or anything touching hair I use the goo gone. I don't really like the stuff--It makes a mess. The man who owns the father of my pup uses some kind of surgical adhesive remover that seems much cleaner and easier to use. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Goo gone does do the trick, though.
