I am so sorry. I hop the school is informed, and ma be able to help you.

Thank you everyone! The injection and eyedrops would be a long-term
> treatment that would have to be given twice per day. I am going to pick-up
> the eyedrops tonight,so will keep you all updated on how things go.

> he has been a dog who drinks his whole bowl of water within a minute. He
> gets 2 cups of water, 4 times per day, which is what GDB recommended. The
> support center suggested that I no longer add water to his food as well.
> His urine has also been very dilute (the trainers noticed it during
> training). And he pees large amounts. He also has an urgency to pee, and
> still pees about every 1 ½ hours. He has had a few accidents on the
> floor. It’s hard to tell when he does pee on the floor, because it is a
> wet spot, but doesn’t smell very strongly of urine. Almost every time we
> are out shopping, he will relieve before we enter the store, but will have
> to go again while we are shopping, especially if it’s more than an hour.
> This is a huge inconvenience, because I’ll have a cart full of
> groceries, have to leave it, rush outside, and then come back in. He
> indicates that he needs to go by pulling strongly towards the front door
> or getting very distracted. It takes a lot to distract him too, so it’s
> obvious when he needs to go. And once he’s outside, he will pee for a
> few minutes.
> When I first brought him home, he had an accident at work, so we took him
> in for a urine test. He did have a UTI, but after that cleared up the
> problem still persisted. Several urine tests, blood work, and a few
> cultures didn’t provide any answers, things looked normal. But, after my
> Vet consulted with a specialist, we think the problem is Diabetes
> Insipidus. It is not like sugar diabetes, but roughly translated it means
> weak or watery diabetes. It is very rare in dogs. Basically, they think
> that his body isn’t producing enough of the ADH horomone and that is
> what is causing his problems. We are going to try to supplement this
> hormone in him and hopefully it will decrease his thirst and urgency to
> urinate. There are two ways to administer ADH, via injection or eyedrops.
> We are going to try the eyedrops. Luckily, I can get them at Walgreens,
> but they are expensive. I give the drops twice per day to start.
> Hopefully, his symptoms should improve within a week or two. I’m praying
> that this will work and that things will be more normal. Overall, he is
> very happy and healthy. If the drops don’t work, then I am not sure what
> the next step is… So, they better work! LOL
