My puppy licked a mouse trap glue. Is it toxic? Should I see a vet?

Question

My 10 week old puppy got stuck to a hidden glue trap (mouse trap)... all 4 paws were stuck. We got as much glue off as we could with vegetable oil. All his legs are okay, nothing seems to be strained. Should I bring him to a 24 hour Vet? Do you think there are poisons in the glue? He does keep trying to lick remaining glue. Thank you!

Typically the glue of these traps are non-toxic, but I would put an Ecollar on Besitos to keep him from licking at the glue. You can make one at home, and I will put a link below on how to make one. I would have him seen by a vet in the morning to get help taking the rest of this glue off. http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
