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.
