[QUOTE="CosbyArt, post: 313482, member: 8168"] The more exotic solvent liquids that could dissolve the exuvia plug inside would hurt her as well, and impossible to get except from a chemical supplier with proper ID. The more common ones that are available everywhere would be water, rubbing alcohol (Isopropyl alcohol), vinegar (5–20% acetic acid) - to even more toxic ones such as nail polish removers (acetone, methyl acetate) or paint thinners (toluene, turpentine). Honestly I do not know if any of them could be safely used (besides water), even if highly diluted with water, that would help save her. If you feel she will not remove the plug in time, the only possibly safe option is to remove the plug with a tip of a needle, angled needle tweezers, or such under magnification. You could try squeezing around the anus as well to see if that would loosen or dislodge the plug - like popping a pimple/zit/blackhead, but is not without possible damage too. Sadly dried exuvia is bad enough in most cases, but if internally as a plug or skin in their openings (such as anus or mouth) it is even more troubling. Trying to pull it out, or squeezing around it, are the only options that may work without fatally harming her. Sorry I have no further help, or a definite solution for you. [/QUOTE]
