How is it that people that have had pups dont know the differnce between:-
Nutri drops, liquid life aid and dopram v..

I have read a few comments on this forum the last few days where people think there one of the same things! and there not there 3 very different things that act differently on pups!

Dopram v:-IS a breathing stimulant.
Nutri drops:-IS used for weak pups that are not gaining weight (there for convalescing pups or adults)
Liquid life aid:-IS to rehydrate pups that are dehyrating.

SO there all very different, thought i better had post this so that "new" time breeders didnt get confused reading posts that refere all or two of them to act the same.

Good post DD
People should be aware of the differences!

I think I had better clear this one up in case it is misunderstood on this page. I have heard of all different types of drops etc. Nutri drops which I used for Chihuahua pup of mine who went Hypoglycemic so I gave a few of this before I drove to the vets. (this was a year ago and not my new pups). What I meant was I had never heard of this Dopram stuff. Until DD mentioned it on another thread and explained what it was for. Like I said its a new one to me as I have never had to buy anything like this. Im glad it was mentioned now though, as it will be something for me to remember. Thanks DD
Actually reading back it was Emma20040 who mentioned This Dopram, DD followed it up to explain.

This posts isnt aimed at you! but over the last few days i have seen people give false imformation regarding them! some even think there the same thing! so thought i would clear it up for anyone that didnt quite understand! because they are rather different as most of us know.

Not being funny DD i read the thread you are referring to when an OP asked where to buy these items and someone got confused, not mentioning names, but in fairness until i came on this thread i knew absolutely nothing about any of these items. my girl had about 2 weeks left of her pregnancy and i didnt know, my vet or no one had mentioned them to me, i learned it on here, then i researched them and knew what to have, i had dopram v and nutridrops in my birth box but no liquid life aid as my vet didnt sell it and i rang round other vets but couldnt get it either. So (how is it that people have pups dont know the difference between statement) is a bit harsh, most of us come on here for advice and support, i dont think they need to put down, you are obviously very knowledgeable about breeding so i think you are good to give advice but again its how you give it makes a difference, not having a pop at you by the way just giving my opinion.

well there are many of you that didnt know about these so lets hope my post has helped newbie breeders learn about them and add them to there whelping kit box!
me saying about how breeders dont know about this sort of stuff is because i was shocked thats all! its something we have known about for years..even before we got into taking in pregnant dogs for rescues and breeding the odd litter ourselves! I didnt put any one down at all just said how is it that breeders didnt know of the stuff! and that was aimed more towards people that knew about the stuff and got confused about what it did and when to be given to pups! There is not just one thread i have read this one i have seen many!..This is aimed at no one! just to try and help others.

Cool, as i said i wasnt having a pop but its hard to tell sometimes, its like when texting sometimes things sound harsher than maybe intended, i just didnt want someone offended just because they werent aware. I know you know your stuff and you have alot of knowledge on this but i think i just wanted you to be aware that had i not joined here i wouldnt have known either and i dont feel that was from my own ignorance it was being ill advised, as i say i asked what i felt were the right people ie. the vet and had never heard of any of these, they actually seemed shocked when i mentioned that i had them ready for the birth, but that was thanks to you guys on here, which is why im always thanking you guys for all the advice and support i have been given.
The nutridrops where an absolute god send, the dopram v i didnt use as the vet ended up delivering my babies.
