How to properly remove the Fentanyl Patch from my cats skin.?
My cat had dental work done on Monday, and it has been 5 days.  The Fentanyl Patch needs to come off today, but the vet office is closed, so I cannot call to ask.  Should the vet remove it, or is there some type of ointment/baby oil/water trick that I can use to remove it?  I didn%26#039;t think to ask when I picked her up :( I thought it would be easy to remove, but it%26#039;s on her skin pretty good.  |||It will be ok if you move it. Just  pull it off carefully and slow.  I wear the fentanyl patch every day and it does hurt sometimes if its on real good. It won%26#039;t hurt the cat to leave it on until the vet opens because the medincine already ran out. So whatever you do will be fine.|||what u can do is use a little bit of mineral oil and gently pull it off.  you may see some hair come off with it but your cat will be fine.  when u remove it u should flush it down the toilet.  but like the person said above, it won%26#039;t hurt if u leave it on for another couple of days until the vet office opens.  the medicine has already been absorbed enough.  but just a little tid bit of info...  the vet office will just pull it off anyways.  they won%26#039;t do anything special so its ok for u to pull it off.  she will be fine.
