Description
Dopram (Doxapram) stimulates respiration and may be used to start or stimulate respiration in newborn puppies and kittens following a difficult birth or a C-section. It may also be used during or after surgery, or to diagnose laryngeal paralysis. It is not a substitute for proper artificial respiratory support (mechanical ventilation).
How It Works
Dopram hydrochloride produces respiratory stimulation mediated through the peripheral carotid chemoreceptors. As the dosage level is increased, the central respiratory centers in the medulla are stimulated with progressive stimulation of other parts of the brain and spinal chord.
Directions
Always follow the dosage and administration instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian. Doxapram may be given as drops under the tongue or by injection. The effect is usually seen within 2 minutes of giving the drug. If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.

Frustrating service
September 21, 2022
This review has nothing to do with the product. Our experience with Entirely Pets was frustrating. Granted, we threw them a curveball because we're an agency that deals with wildlife as opposed to pets, and they were confused what to put on the label. However, it seemed like there was poor communication between the sales side and the pharmacy side of the operation, it was very difficult to get a hold of anyone on the phone (repeatedly), and it ultimately took 3 weeks to receive the drugs.
