Guinea Fowl Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have been doing a few jobs around the house and one job involved a bit of "NO NONSENSE" superglue, anyways to cut a long story short, my 16 week old springer follows me where ever I go. I applied some of said glue to the thing that needed glueing, a short while later I noticed the pup was not to happy with her tongue, on closer inspection I noticed her tongue is full of the now hardened superglue, she must like the taste / smell of it as she keeps on trying to go back for another lick :blink: Will the glue go away / wear off or will we have to visit the vet today? it's only a small amount and she dont seem to be to bothered right now.

BRAD1927 Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I would suggest going to the vet soonest as superglue contains cyanide, better safe than sorry mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclestuffy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 The levels of cyanide are very low indeed. The biggest issue will be the irritation factor I suspect - you can get a super glue dissolver but the vet would have a good iead if it is safe to use.

Guinea Fowl Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 She is all fine now, the glue on her tongue are gone, just some left around the mouth on the hairs. She look and acts as she normally do, totally bonkers so all is fine. Thanks for the replies chaps. Browsing the tinternet it seems it's not that bad, especially as it were a small amount. Cheers.

Coolhead Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Superglue has been water soluble for years. It's used to close small wounds in medical use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
