Bald Spot With Boar Glue... Oh Queso!

[CheeseMommy]

So Salsa has taken to occasionally mounting Queso. This behavior has decreased through the days as they live together and does not constitute as bullying or interfering with any eating/drinking/sleeping habits.

Queso has developed some boar glue on his rump. I noticed it was hurting him because the hair was matted, so I cut it out the best I could. Now he has a little bald spot and still some boar glue I can't cut out.

We tried bathing him, but it doesn't work. How can we get the glue out? I know it must be very uncomfortable for him. We tried letting it alone to see if it works itself out, but it's been a week.

I think it's probably best to keep soaking it with a bit of a cotton bud (q-tip) soaked in water or a damp cloth to try to gently soften and loosen it. Hopefully it will soften and fall off. If you pull at it it may damage his skin. Boys will be boys
