Mineral Oil

$25.00

Mineral oil is used in horses to treat constipation and fecal impactions, and, in some cases, to treat sand colic. It is sometimes administered after an animal ingests lipid-soluble toxins, such as kerosene or metalaldehyde, to retard the absorption of these toxins through its laxative and solubility properties.

Mineral oil may also be used as a hoof dressing to protect and condition the horse's hooves when recommended by a farrier or veterinarian.
