Ugga-7yr old french bulldog (calcinosis cutis)(Ugga crossed the bridge)

Hmmm, if it is only available to practitioners, then, seems that one vet could give your Dr. Nicole a call and get a recommendation and see what she is using so they could follow suit. If something works, we don't sneeze around here, we just have to find out how to incorporate it and often that seems to mean educating our vets.

That is so fabulous. Ugga ran down the stairs! Did you almost have a heart attack? I probably would have being the nervous mommy type. LOL I love it though! Go Ugga!

yay Ugga.. That is such great news. I am so happy she is feeling good.

Hi all. I just wanted to post an update on Ugga boo. We are still going for acupuncture and he's still doing really well. We went from going once a week to every other week. This last stretch was 3 weeks but his Calcinosis Cutis started to flare up so we're going back to every other week to keep that monster in check. His head tilt is gone, he's balanced, and his left eye is closing all the way. His right eyelid is starting to move quite a bit now, closing almost half way. I got a jar of the herbal salve we've been using-I was off on the ingredients before-I'm sorry. I know there's not a lot of scientific evidence coming out of our case but I do hope at least one person who reads this will consider acupuncture. Don't get me wrong, Ugga needs his Vetoryl too, but I think the combination of acupuncture and meds have made all the difference for him. Here is the link to the company that makes the healing salve we've been using. It's only available to practitioners. http://www.tcvmherbal.com/ You can search for a practitioner in your area to get a prescription but I would definitely talk to your vet first. I have absolutely no affiliation with this company, I just believe in the product and so does my vet. Again, I absolutely would NOT use ANYTHING without consulting your vet. Every pet is different and even natural ingredients can be toxic.

Hi! that is so great to hear. So, glad Ugga is responding to the acupuncture treatment. I bet you are relieved to see the head tilt gone & the eyes getting better.

I definitely believe in acupuncture. It did wonders for my body..

keep up the good work little Ugga!

Hi Amy! Yes, we are thrilled to see these improvements :) How's your Boriss doing?

So happy to read that Ugga is doing well and that the acupuncture really helps, hoping that darn CC will completely go away...sending love and hugs, Lori

Oh this is wonderful to hear! I'm so glad that Ugga is doing well with the acupuncture and medicine combo.
I know Julie uses acupuncture for Hannah too and I think some of the others. I think the key is getting a good acupuncturist for dogs and take it from there.
Great update! I was ready for some happy news. :)

Oh Lori, I know!! Last week, he had a bit of a setback and I was losing my mind. It kills me to see him itchy and bloody :( I have to have that awful quality of life argument with myself...I hate that. I will never go three weeks between treatments again and this last time, I got some of the super stinky healing cream to bring home so I can put it on in between sessions :) It's healed before, I'm holding onto hope that it will heal again. Hugs, Jackie

Hi Sharlene! Yes, we are very happy in this house. We needed some good news here as well. Is everything ok with you and your girl? Hugs, Jackie

Hi Jackie!! The little girl is just trucking along same as always. That's a good thing. :)
Oh, hope Ugga's skin clears up with the cream and the acupuncture. At least you know that it can clear up, just an awful thing to go through till it does. hang in there. You got the miracle cream going for you!

hugs,
