Lori-it must be ESP! I was wondering about this very thing early this a.m. I have 12 syringes of wormer which I sat on the shelf in the barn without realizing we were about to have our first real cold spell with night temps. in the low 20's. I'm hoping Dr. O. will say it's o.k. to use!

I think the deworming chemical will be fine. Usually warnings about freezing concern a product separating from the binder, falling out of solution, or even rupture or breaking of the container. If you want to use parts of tubes you might look at one first to be sure the product looks homogenous.
