How many enemas okay/safe to give in a day?

[Jenk]

Per my other post (dated today), Zoe had two enemas (of about 20 mL's each). The last one was given around 5:15 pm by the vet.

I'm wondering:

1) Can another enema be given at home yet tonight, or would I possibly be overloading her system in some way?

2) Would an enema of water with a little mineral oil be okay to give if the previous two enemas contained water with a little soap? (If there's soapiness in her, would it repel the mineral oil, is my question.)


Thank you,

Jenk

I would say hold off until tomorrow, it may still work. But maybe tomorrow the vet will try the mineral oil instead?

I'd keep it at two a day.

That thought crossed my mind. After all, what is there to lose, if the choice is between an enema with water/mineral oil or euthanasia?
