give him a nice half hour soak in luke warm water and if it's still on, try and help remove it
make sure that if you help to hold his head firm so that he doesn't have swing to strike you, but don't choke the poor little guy either just simply hold him and rub the skin. After a good soak it shouldn't take much to get it off. Also be careful around the eyes wouldn't want to lose one of those.
