Dog who cemented mouth shut after chewing on superglue saved by household item

A dog who managed to cement its mouth shut after chewing on superglue was thankfully saved by a common household item. The puppy was rescued from the perilous predicament thanks to a vet's smart thinking to use olive oil to dissolve the glue.

The incident occurred when the Cocker Spaniel came across a tube of superglue in a bin at his home in Newcastle. Bleu soon found himself in a sticky situation when upon chewing on the packet he managed to cement his mouth shut.

The 20-week-old pup was rushed to the vet by his owner Cali Coulson, who had been tidying up at the time, reports Chronicle Live. Thankfully for Cali and Blue, some smart thinking from Vets4Pets Bedlington Practice Owner and Veterinary Surgeon, Dr Robert Dorward, the problem was soon solved.
