Thanks Dr Taylor - that is my protocol here at our farm. I will say tho, that it is getting harder and harder to find enemas that DON'T have mineral oil -- what brand do you use>

I happen to use Fleet mostly, but I avoided that trade name as I do believe they make an oil enema also, I also use a generic whenever available.

As for dose, I do usually use 1/2 of a full sized enema, but really can't overdose an enema, it'll just leak out. You can give too many enemas and lead to electrolyte imbalances, but pretty uncommon.

Pharmacists are business people too and they'll order whatever you want, just ask.
