How do you remove chewing gum from a dogs paw or pads?

Asked by Shutyadish

Are you serious? How would you treat your hands if your skin came off? Your dog obviously has a reason for chewing on it's feet in the first place. Put some neosporin on it's feet and bandage them up, and then put your dog in the car, and take him to the vet.

Is chewing gum sticks around for ever?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Absolutely not. Although it cannot be broken down by the digestive system, if gum is followed, it follows the normal route of the digestive system from end to end, and like most things, will eventually pass, unless you choke on it or it lodges itself somewhere in the system forming a blockage. In either case, you'd have bigger problems to worry about.

Does it hurt to poop out gum?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, although I personally have swallowed gum (and then, I assume have excreted it), I have never had any pain in doing so. Others may have different experiences, however, and the person who answered the question before me had clearly had some painful experience with the matter, but I myself cannot testify to having experienced any pain.

However, from what I've heard at least, swallowing gum is not a good idea. It has the potential to bung up your insides, which may cause severe damage. Having said that, it is not a good idea to spit it onto pavements (side-walks for the Americans), or public monuments either.

Same with toothpaste, right? The gum leaves residual amounts of flavored oils (spearmint, peppermint, clove) on the surface of the tongue which tend to remain there longer because they are not water soluble.

What can be used to dissolve chewing gum?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Many solvents will dissolve gum, but they will also usually stain whatever you use them on. The mildest is vegetable oil, which can dissolve or loosen some types of gum. Naphtha, methanol, acetone, and urea products will also dissolve some types of gum.

The easiest way to remove most gum (from hair, fabrics) is using ice to harden it, so that it can be flaked off the surface.
