Can you clean oil from animals with oil?

Yes, you can clean oil from animals using oil, specifically a type of oil called a degreaser or a specific formulation designed for cleaning. This method works because the oil can help dissolve the sticky oil on the animal's fur or feathers. However, it's essential to follow up with a thorough wash using soap and water to remove any residual oil and prevent further harm to the animal. Professional wildlife rehabilitators typically have specific protocols in place to ensure the safety and health of the affected animals.
