Calcinosis Cutis and Cushings (Peety has passed)

Thanks, Sharlene, I'll check with my Vet. I did some research and read some reviews. It sounds as good as anything else. Worth a try. What were the reasons they were using it? Was it CC, or just skin problems? Have not gotten a call on an earlier appt yet. I guess that Dr. is only there until noon so there are only a few appts anyway. I'll try again Monday. He's doing good. My sweet boy, The honey regime is 100%...no doubt about it...Messy :D:D:D:D Have I abandoned it, not exactly, but I have enough to give me facials for a loooooooooooooong time :D:D

Pat: So sorry Peety has not found his regular vet yet, but you seem to be doing a very good job yourself taking care of him. I like my vets, but none of them seem to have treated too many Cushing pups. They are all willing to try to help CoCo with whatever I ask. I think Cushing is an elusive disease with many different symptoms and hard to treat. I think CoCo has had all of them. I just keep trying to find ways to help him. He is bothered by diarrhea now and the Metronidazole does not seem to be helping. I just keep trying to help him. I get the most information from this forum and from the internet and I know that is what you are doing since you have found the honey to help Peety's skin. I feel like this forum is more help than the vets since the people here have the experience with their pups. Maybe you will find a vet this week and get a true diagnosis. You are doing a great job. Love, JoAnne

I think it was skin problems they were/are treating for with the shampoo. How is Peety doing?

Got to run to work.

JoAnn Is CoCo still doing okay with his skin? I agree that most vets treat by trial and error, at least in this area. And they don't really want you to know. Well, I hope the IM Dr. I am seeing Monday will have a better idea of where we go from here. You're right most information on this disease is from people that have lived and breathed it every day. Peety still doesn't present any signs of Cushing's, it's mostly the skin problem. So I would be real happy if they said no Cushing's and just concentrate on the skin. But I also know that I don't know what is going on internally so I cannot second guess at this point. He is still doing good and tolerates whatever I do to him. My sweet boy. Just wish I had one little itty bitty sign that something is working. Maybe tomorrow:) Big hugs Pat Peetty's#1 fan

Hey Pat: CoCo still only has a few calcium deposits on his tail, but his hair is so thin, makes him look like one of those little abused dogs. He is having trouble with soft stools and diarrhea now which is worrisome since I cannot seem to figure out what is causing it. I know you will be glad to find out for sure if Peety has Cushings. It would be wonderful if he does not. I will think happy thoughts for him. Take care. Love, JoAnne

When does Peety have his appointment? Is it next week? Hope everything is going okay. :)

Monday. Don't know if they will want more test or if they will react to the ones I have. He's doing good. Still doing the honey and I found out yesterday my cousin who has diabetic sores is using the Manuka honey. I read it is the best thing to treat wounds with. I do believe it has changed the appearance of the skin I am treating. I believe in it. Maybe a longer process but at least this way he does not have to take oral antibiotics. And he is still happy as can be.

I am so glad to hear that the honey is helping and Peety is not needing oral antibiotics. That is terrific news!:D Love to hear good news!:D:D

Good you can see the honey helping.

I used sudocream on Tia as it helped with the itching and inflammation.We only had to use anti biotics a couple of times and princess got it twice so I also believe in natural where possible.

Hope all goes well on Monday, will be looking out for his report

Sticky kisses for the little man and a hug for you :D
