- Cattle & Horses: 240-960 mL depending on body weight and severity of condition
- Sheep, Goats & Swine: 60-240 mL
- Dogs & Cats: 5-120 mL Repeat dosage daily until condition is corrected. Habitual constipation may be relieved by administering 1-2 times weekly.
As a coat dressing: Mix 1 L alcohol, 1 L water, and 2 L mineral oil; shaking vigorously to make an emulsion. Massage into the coat and skin. Follow with a good brushing.
