I need some mineral oil
Ive googled it and searched on the boots website but i dont know where i can buy it.
Would it be in a supermarket? Im not even sure if its for eating or putting on the skin, but i know i need some!

Yeh i know, i was hoping someone off here would know what its used for, or knows where to buy it
However it is labeled as a laxative so try in your pharmacy area of any store that has one by the laxatives and other similar products.
So i'm curious, if you dont know what its for or anything, why do you need it?
HTH.
Well, its rather random but i need to syringe it up my elderly guinea pigs arse! His bum muscles have lost their elasticity and his bum gets impacted. This is to make the squeezing out process more comfortable for him!
haha oh my god!
Sorry but I just burst out laughing when I read that then
but i dont know what mineral oil is sorry hehe.
I looked in boots cuz thats the only store name i could think of there but they didn't have it.
And tbh, I bought a 32oz one for less than $3 I dont know where they got over $6 from.
awwww poor constipated guineapig
Will your guinea pig ever be able to hold his head up high again?
Oh the lack of dignity!
Don't they do that to dogs too? They need something helped along, I guess, thats why dogs drag their bums across the carpet?
Nope i have to shit for him for the rest of his piggy life :thumb: He doesnt mind too much, he gets a cherry tomato when its done so i think he thinks its worth his while!
oh and Buttonmoon, im not joking!!
Nope thats anal gland impaction, dogs with this have to have the glands squeezed and it squirts across the room
Is it satisfying if you get a big bit of poo out?
:sour: This is so not the thread to read 10 minutes before lunch
Kids I can deal with, animals - uh-uh.
Nope, he doesnt even struggle, although he is an exceptionally friendly guinea pig.
Its satisfying when it pops out in a solid ball rather than having to pick it out with tweezers.
Hahaha!!
Its so funny when people get grossed out because it doesnt bother me at all, after all, he's only been eating hay and stuff like that
Humans on the other hand, filthy creatures with much worse smelling poo!
The grossest thing is when a dog eats string or hair or something and then the poo hangs out of their bum and you have to pull it out with a doggybag :yuck: :sour:
that properly turns my stomach, but sometimes you just gotta do it
*sorry Miffy*
I get that all the time with my dog :yuck:
i'm the other way round. depending on the animal, of course. cat poo is utterly horrific. dog poo isn't great.
but small animal poo is totally inoffensive.
I agree with Kaffrin - rabbit, guinea pig, hamster poo etc is fine. Rabbits eat theirs again anyway so the second time around it literally is just hay. That is, until you get a stupid rabbit (Fat Daisy) who won't eat the pellets in her food and all her poo sticks to her bum so I have to cut it off. Sorry Miffy!
I once told my mum I wanted to be a vet for a laugh and she nearly died.
