Animal Essentials Colon Rescue is an alcohol-free herbal tonic for dogs and cats intended to support normal bowel function and digestive comfort. Certified organic slippery elm inner bark, marshmallow root, licorice root, and plantain leaf make up its 250 mg per mL proprietary blend in a vegetable glycerin base. It can be incorporated into a veterinarian-guided plan during occasional digestive changes; persistent or severe symptoms need an examination.
The four certified organic herbs total 250 mg per 1 mL in a proprietary blend; individual amounts are not disclosed. Traditional uses and constituent research do not show that the finished tonic treats diarrhea, constipation, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Active ingredients per 1 mL: Proprietary blend of certified organic marshmallow root, licorice root, slippery elm inner bark, and plantain leaf, 250 mg total.
Inactive ingredients: Distilled water, vegetable glycerin USP. The supplied ingredient statement lists no alcohol.
Shake well before using. Best administered directly into the mouth or combined with your pet's regular routine, up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. The corrected serving guide lists dogs at 2 to 3 times daily.
Persistent or repeated diarrhea or constipation, vomiting, blood in stool, lethargy, abdominal swelling, or loss of appetite warrants veterinary assessment. Seek prompt care if your pet cannot pass stool or seems severely unwell. Consult your veterinarian before ongoing use or if your pet has a chronic digestive condition or takes oral medication; mucilage-containing herbs may affect medication timing. This supplement is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.
The vendor describes Colon Rescue as a four-herb certified organic blend in an alcohol-free vegetable glycerin base. This listing is for a 1 oz bottle.
It is intended to support normal bowel function and digestive comfort in dogs and cats, using herbs traditionally associated with mucosal support.
Dogs under 20 lbs receive 0.5 to 1.0 mL, dogs 20-40 lbs receive 1.0 to 1.5 mL, and dogs over 40 lbs receive 2.0 mL per serving, 2 to 3 times daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Cats receive 0.5 to 1.0 mL per serving, up to 3 times daily, or as directed by your veterinarian. Shake well before use.
TCVM traditionally uses Gan Cao to support the Middle and harmonize formulas. The other listed botanicals should not be assigned classical TCVM actions without a matching preparation; plantain leaf is not Plantago seed. Western herbal literature discusses the mucilage in slippery elm and marshmallow, but this does not prove a treatment effect for the finished tonic.
Check with your veterinarian first. Mucilage-containing herbs such as marshmallow and slippery elm can affect how oral medication is taken, so your veterinarian can advise on timing. Seek veterinary care if digestive symptoms persist or worsen.
