Questions and Answers

1. Can dogs take DDAVP?
Answer: DDAVP for pets should only be given under the direction of a veterinary surgeon. It is prescribed to treat diabetes insipidus, a condition where the kidney is not able to reclaim water from the blood and the patient loses too much water through their urine. This is reviewed by Dr Pippa Elliott, BVMS MRCVS.

2. How long does it take for desmopressin to work in dogs?
Answer: Desmopressin for central diabetes insipidus acts rapidly and should have a beneficial effect within a few hours. However, regular doses are necessary, since the duration of action is around 8 to 24 hours. This is reviewed by Dr Pippa Elliott, BVMS MRCVS.

The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
