Has just been delivered - says to store between 2 and 8 C but also says domestic fridges are too cold - where shall I keep it?

I'd suggest that right now in the UK, it's not exactly hot, so any cool room/cupboard should be okay?

Ok thanks

Agree.  I've always put mine in one of the cupboards in the whelping room.

Seems odd as a domestic fridge should be around 5 degrees C

I've had mine in the fridge about a month, waiting.  My fridge is around 5 degrees.  Anywhere else would be too warm in this weather...

Thought the bottle says keep refridgerated, where I kept mine

Got to say, I'm a little fuzzy on when I should/shouldn't use Dopram V - though I have it!  Anyone want to elaborate on that? 

I think you're supposed to put a couple drops under the tongue, but under what circumstances?

When you can't get a puppy breathing

So how long do I try rubbing the pup for, swinging pup down etc, before resorting to Dopram V - or do I just go straight to that?

Straight away if puppy is unresponsive and not getting going as normal. I would expect a response of puppy being rubbed etc pretty much straight away, colour coming to their mouth and feel the muscles tighten.If they ate floppy and nothing, would give dopram v and keep rubbing.

Ok, that's great thanks.

> When you can't get a puppy breathing

Dopram isn't used when a pup isn't breathing.  I would have expected that to be clear on the instructions.  If you have a pup that is intermittently gasping then is the time to move fast and drop under the tongue.  It saves lives when lungs aren't working too well.
