HELP!! Burrs!

scotttie — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:55:21 GMT

My schnoodle, Milo, stuck his face in a burr patch and we got most of them out but he still has a couple stuck right below his lip....almost ON his lip. He of course won't let us get at those. Any suggestions? I'm afaid of cutting him with scissors.

I wondered if putting oil on them would loosen them? Any suggestions?

I think it might work, scottie. Something like baby oil or olive oil? Maybe hair conditioner?

Thank you Sue. I ended up calling our groomer and she said hold him by the hair on the side of his face (his beard) and use a comb. DH did that and it got some out and then he just sat by him on the couch and every so often pulled a little bit more off.

The groomer said not to use oil, I asked about that.

Anyway he is looking much better now. Thanks for your response.
