[Dailydrool] Diabetes Insipidus Question

[Sherry Petersen]

My Abner was just diagnosed with nephrogenic diabetes insidus  
following an e coli infection that damaged his kidneys. Unfortunately  
I am unable to afford the $100/month for desmopressin, so will have to  
monitor water intake. Vet is unclear whether he would have to be on it  
the rest of his life. He went from 55lb to 37lb. Hopefully we have  
destroyed all the bad bugs now, he is starting to put on a few  
pounds...email me off list if you want...I feel clueless also!
