How do you wean off the medicine DDAVP? I've been taking this medicine for many years only to find out my tests say I don't need it (I had small injury to pituitary in brain). Unfortunately I find it almost impossible to wean off because it makes you go to the bathroom ALOT after the medicine ware's off! since it's an anti diuretic/water retaining pill! Confusing and tricky.
DOGS CANNOT TAKE DECONGESTANTS!!!! They cannot metabolize them. If your dogs ears are that bad they are in need of antibiotic and antifungals. You can ask your vet to prescribe an antibiotic like cephalexin and an antifungal like fluconazole both which can be called into a walmart in your area and they are on the $4 generic list so it keeps cost down. As for itching they can have antihistamines WITHOUT DECONGESTANTS in them.
5 years old beautiful and full of joy English Setter Mia from the Rescue Shelter. After having her for a few days, we discovered that she has urine incontinence and often leaking while resting or sleeping. She is also unreasonably consuming allot of water, just like she has run for a long time.
DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.
My question is I have asked her endocrinologist to prescribe DDAVP for her to take during several camps she has this summer. He will not because of a chance she could have a seizure. I can't remember the exact reason but it does have to do with her diabetes and how DDAVP interact in a diabetic's body. He said the chance is very low, but possible. Could you give me your thoughts on a Type 1 diabetic using DDAVP.
Possibly the medication has made your dog a bit sick at his stomach. Some antibiotics cause side effects of nausea and/or loose stools. Dogs don't like to eat when they are sick at their stomach, just like you or I don't. If his cough is better, if he is active, and if he is drinking some water, then I would just be calm and let the medication work.
Keep offering small amounts of food every few hours, and see if he doesn't start eating within the next day or so.
hes fine and looks great still every1 thinks hes about 6 as he still really really active however probably for the past 9-12 months ive noticed that after hes been laying down he gets up and he has a limp in his front leg he ends up walking if off at first i thaught it was how he slept on it plus we have wooden floors through the house which i thaught may of added to this but after it became more frequent it occured it could be what i mentioned in the title, his sister who was a year younger t
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?
My little dog has all of the signs of kidney failure and I just found out about a product called Tripsy for Dogs that might help, but the company that sells it is closed for the weekend.
Would there be any kind soul out there in British Columbia (I am in Maple Ridge, 45 minutes from Vancouver) who would have some? If I could just give her a few doses until Monday when I could either order some or travel to Bellingham to purchase it.
Hello~First, your friend needs to be examined by the GP, there could be some reasons for this such as Diabetes, urinary track issues, infections, or other issues with the kidneys and/or bladder.
There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea.
The tumor was germinoma. Yes u are right it was the optic nerve. I don't know for sure if my pituitary gland still functions I take ddavp, I also took growth hormones in the past and I take l cortef. But I'm not sure. Thanks so much I have a docs visit soon and Ill ask him more about my tumor. Thanks again for your help. And about the scar tissue he wants another MRI and then him and other docs will decide to do a biopsy or something els.
I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding. I have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped.
I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?
Pheno is a brain 'relaxer' for dogs. This is why it works to control seizures in canines. If you ask for a smaller dose, you risk break-through seizures. Obviously asking for a higher dosage would not be an answer. Is your dog on any canine vitamins? Ask your vet about it. That might help the adjustment to the pheno.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced diabetes insipidus? The reason for the test is because I have been extremely thirsty and urinating almost every 1.5 hours a day. I received a copy of the test results. They tested my ADH level (arginine vasopressin) The results are L<1.0 Range:1.0-13.3
They say there are different types of diabetes insipidus, basically that the kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do or a pituitary issue.
