Most breeders have suffered the upset of having a
puppy or kitten with breathing problems, possible after a
difficult birth, and despite every effort some do not
survive.
This unique product is a potent medicine NOT a dietary
supplement. It contains DOXAPRAM which stimulates
breathing and is similar to treatments used in caring for
premature babies in hospital. DOPRAM V is given by
placing 2-10 drops (depending upon the size of the
animal and severity of the problem) under the tongue of the puppy or
kitten.
Full instructions are supplied with DOPRAM V and a dropper bottle
containing enough for a number of doses costs just £11.75. This seems a small price to pay to avoid the emotional (and financial) cost of losing a
puppy or kitten from respiratory failure. Not to be confused with food
supplement remedies this is a licensed medicine for respiratory stimulation
following difficult birth.
The action is rapid usually beginning in a few seconds. Can be used on
new-born puppies, kittens. extensively used by vets and a must for any breeder.
