MINERAL OIL STRICTLY EQUINE 4L

Mineral oil is a liquid petrolatum that has been refined for internal use. Mineral oil acts as a laxative by lubricating fecal material and the intestinal mucosa. It also reduces reabsorption of water from the gastrointestinal tract, thereby increasing fecal bulk and decreasing intestinal transit time.

Some veterinarians prescribe mineral oil to clear sand from the intestinal tract in the case of sand colic. It is suggested that it be mixed with psyllium for the best results.
