Can I take my bisacodyl tablets at noon the day before my colonoscopy exam?
Yes, it should have done its job by the time the colonoscopy is scheduled for.
But please check. Your doctor or whoever is doing the procedure will normally have given you a program to prepare for a colonoscopy. This usually involves a special 'low residue' diet for a few days, ending with clear fluids like jello and consomme the day before the procedure. Included in the preparatory program you should find special laxatives.
Don't take the bisacodyl if you have been following such a program, as you will have too much laxative and it can affect the special salts in the body called electrolytes.

Can carnitine be synthesized in the body and if so what is the pathway?
Carnitine is synthesized from the amino acid lysine. The first enzyme in the biosynthesis, N-trimethyllysine hydroxylase, is most concentrated in the mitochondria of kidneys and liver tissue. The full pathway is mentioned in the Clin Chem reference in graphical form (nice).
From the JBC article:
In the carnitine biosynthetic pathway, trimethyllysine is first hydroxylated at the beta position by epsilon-trimethyllysine hydroxylase (TMLH1), after
which the resulting epsilon-hydroxytrimethyllysine is cleaved by a
specific aldolase into -trimethylaminobutyraldehyde and glycine
(6, 8). Subsequently, -trimethylaminobutyraldehyde is
oxidized by -trimethylaminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase to
form -butyrobetaine (9). In the last step, -butyrobetaine is
hydroxylated at the -position by a second hydroxylase, -butyrobetaine
hydroxylase, yielding L-carnitine

What can you do about a rectum prolapse to a dog?
Seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your dog has a prolapsed rectum. It requires immediate attention as infection and inability to eliminate results quickly. The vet can do a less invasive procedure using a "purse string" suture, to restrict the opening and hold the rectum in place - the goal being to provide an opportunity for scarring to re-affix the rectum in place. Such a procedure is left in for a few weeks. A more invasive surgery can be performed to fix the problem; this may be tried if the first option has failed.
