New borns gasping

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Ok I am a member of a canine repro group and some one mentioned that if you cant get the drug then you can use brandy or vanilla extract as well. Same thing, a drop under the tounge. Anyone hear of this?

Let me ask another YTCA member who is an RN. She's the one that informed me of the Dopram V. I'll drop her an e-mail in the morning. If that is ok?

The other thing that you may try. Is a Y board.....and strapping the puppy to it with paper med tape. gently angle the Y board with the puppy's head down. This is to get all the fluids out of the lungs,

Thank you! I would appreciate that.

Well Breny what's wrong with you. Go out and get some Brandy and fix yourself a drink.

I have heard of quite a few breeders using Brandy under the tounge before. They say its works. I have never needed to use it so I dont have any personal knowledge of it.

Breny,

I've sent off an e-mail. Since she's an RN I don't know what her work schedule is...

Here's what I'm reading.

Oxygen enriched air is necessary for pups having difficulty breathing. If a pup is very congested, you should instigate Amoxicillin therapy and a couple of drops of Benadryl (for infants) or Temaril P (if you have it, a few granules in the glucose solution is sufficient once a day for two days). Check with your veterinarian because this Temaril P is a prescription drug used used for respiratory problems.
