Murphy has been on the Desmopressin for almost a week. I confess, I had hoped for better results. He isn't drinking as much, but he is still urinating a massive amount daily. Thankfully, I work from home, or his crate would be a daily mess. He can't hold it the 4 hours or less until my lunch and he is still getting me up in the middle of the night or worse, an hour before the alarm goes off. He is also still doing some bed wetting, though he has opted not to sleep in the bed the last few nights, which is kind of a relief, as I don't have as much laundry to do. From what I can tell, he is keeping his crate and dog bed dry.
I think I'll go a few more days on the one drop per eye and then opt to try two drops per eye or perhaps one drop in the AM and one drop in the PM. Otherwise, he seems perfectly healthy; demanding as ever for his nightly cookie. Has a great appetite too.
I've looked into a patio door doggie door and hopefully, I will get enough back on taxes to take the plunge. It will help so much for both of us.
