My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.
s previous medical records that I like to have titers ran first, before I vaccinate my dogs for other diseases. He told me that I was wise and explained to me that, because of the research and his own personal testing on this, he has started to recommend to patients to check their pet's titer first to make sure that they don't need an unnecessary vaccination. I can only tell you that every time I've done this, my pet's titers were always within normal range.
t mention in your question what medication you were taking. Commonly central DI is treated with desmopressin. Desmopressin works by limiting the amount of water passed in the urine.
I don't know why you would suddenly notice a decrease in your symptoms after 34 years. I would recommend making an appointment with your regular doctor to see what might be causing this. Until you can be seen, it is important that you remain aware of your fluid intake and output.
Hello,
I am 20 years old female and I wet my bed (urinate) at night sometimes. Can you suggest any logical explanation for this problem? I do not have any other health problems.
I have gotten my dog cold laser therapy for her allergies and auto immune disease. I've also seen it done on dogs for hip dysplasia and arthritis, epilepsy, other allergy dogs, and on dogs post surgery to speed up healing.
On every other dog that I either witnessed personally or read the testimonies of (which were about 20 in all) it worked moderate to very well. In my dog, it did not work. She had 4 weeks of treatment.
I felt the laser myself and it feels like nothing at all.
We have a 7 year old colllie just diagnosed with Diabetes Insipetes (nephrogenic). Vet recommends treatment with ddavp eye drop. All the information we can find says that this is "very expensive". Can you give us a ballpark of what this actually means for annual cost of care? What are the implications of leaving this untreated if she has on going access to fresh clean water?
today the consultant gave me tablets called desmopressin acetate. i understand they reduce urine amounts. will try but cant see them working well.
Any new ideas or anyone with same prob please help.
Dialysis for dogs has been available for about 10yrs. The cost is often prohibitive for most people, being around £25,000 for the initial treatment alone.
Kidney transplants are also now available for dogs, though their success is not guaranteed - and in fact they are far less successful than in cats having the same operation. It may be difficult to find a canine medical centre able to offer this unusual treatment, but they are out there if you do your research.
Is there a medication for Diabetes Insipidus other than Desmopressin? The headaches as a side affect are dibilitating.

They sell something called a snuggle sack which is basically a sleeping bag for dogs. Maybe your dog would benefit from having one of those to burrow in while you're away at work. I'd just make sure there's a nice, cushy spot (a pile of blankets or a dog bed) so he's not lying directly on a cold floor while you're gone.
Will he/she tolerate wearing sweaters? They also have boots for pets but I could never convice my dogs to wear them.
Good thing you didn't take no for an answer, you saved your dogs life, and I'm sure you'll be repaid by him in his own way for years to come.
