Doghouse Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) Was walking a pot of hot leg wax out the front yard (dogs were with Miss 6 in backyard..) when Miss 6 opened door let dogs in and Lola bundled into me and I spilled leg wax on one dogs withers.. No scalding of skin but wax is still stuck in coat (thank god for a double coat) right down to skin. Have bathed her, cut back excess hair. How does one get the remainder of the wax out of the coat or should I just try and cut the hair back to the lilly white skin underneath and leave her with bald patches. I have some neocort..wondering if this would help if there is any sensitivity for the scalding. Vet does not open til Monday. She is fine.. just waxy..

harold Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 if it's just the wax, use a comb/stiff brush or she'll eat it off - so long as it's not too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 If she were a skinkid I'd suggest using ice cubes in small sections to freeze the ice solid so that it can be cracked off easily without leaving too much residue (like putting a tablecloth in the freezer to get wax off it without leaving a mark). Failing that, maybe you could disolve it with a hot bath? Hmmm...dunno....what a dilemma. Hope she's ok and doesn't suffer too many ill effects. Oh and for the areas that might be scalded, maybe some sorbolene + vit E cream, or some aloe vera could be the go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Wouldn't the wax remover that is used to wipe off excess wax from us humans after waxing if finished get the wax off? I have a bottle of it in the bathroom. I think it would be pretty safe to just pour onto the hair or if you were concerned then soak a cloth in it. I guess there goes your smooth legs for a nice day untill you sort out your doggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domestic Dreamer Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Olive oil or almond oil. Almond oil is what they use on the wax remover pads I have, but any kind should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably would have tried the wax remover or almond oil before cutting her coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~*Shell*~ Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Baby oil should take it out of the coat right quick. Takes it out of everything else without a problem, and no sticky residue! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
