Cocker Spaniel puppy saved by vet after cementing mouth shut by chewing superglue

A mischievous Cocker Spaniel puppy was blissfully unaware of what lay ahead when he found a tube of superglue in a bin at home.

But he soon found himself in a sticky situation when he began chewing on the packet and managed to cement his mouth shut. The 20-week-old pup was rushed to the vets when his owner Cali Coulson, who had been tidying up at the time, noticed Bleu's predicament.

And luckily for Bleu, the team at Vets4Pets Bedlington managed to free him, using a basic kitchen cupboard essential. Thanks to some quick thinking from Practice Owner and Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Robert Dorward, the glue was removed with minimal fuss using swabs soaked in olive oil to gently dissolve all the glue from Bleu's lips, teeth and tongue.
