Sticky residue from rat glue trap

[DallasLoneStar]

My Welsummer, Blanche somehow got into a glue trap I had put in a very tight spot between The deck box and the feed bin. She got out of it by herself,And I cut a bunch of the glue out of her feathers, but there is still residue on her feathers and her legs.

How can I get the rest off her legs and the short feathers on the top of her legs? Goo gone seems like it would be bad for her skin haha. Water has done nothing.

What a mess...Have you tried vegetable oil ....

No... that sounds like even more mess!

Vegtable oil, mineral oil, olive oil, will work. Sure it will be messy but it will help get it off. Of course give her a bath afterwards to rinse oil off.
