Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Omg , someone just returned to me my wallet that I lost back on 10/28 while visiting a friend at the hospital. :D
Now I wish I would have answered my door when he rang the bell. With all the crime going on and being home alone not expecting anybody I do not answer the door unless I know who it is. He left it under the door mat, it was completely in tacked money and all.
I do not care that it took so long, just the fact that someone took the time out of their day to find the owner of it is just amazing considering how much our society has changed, it restores my hope and will pass a act of kindness forward to a stranger( I pretty much always help when I can) what else all I can says is wow and thank you to the unknown individual that was so kind, may 2014 bring this person much happiness;)

Dang it, just gave her a shower an a couple of areas on the back of her neck cracked open and a spot on the underside of her tail are now weeping blood. She actually yelped and bit at my hand :eek:through the towel will I was drying her, I'm ok she was pressing her head really hard into the towel at the time and then she twisted her self into it and that's when she did it , poor girl, she does smell better now and still loves me:p. I gave her her pain meds in little balls of ice cream so all is well. Now its time to apply the hibistat and neosporin to the areas , thank god I buy those by the gross, I should own stock in them by now,! :D
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
That is such wonderful news that someone returned your wallet. How awesome is that. :) Yes, there are still good people around. :)
Awww, so sorry that some of Butters spot started bleeding. Poor thing, I'm sure it does hurt sometimes.
You are doing good with her though. No one else could give her more than you are, that's for sure and no one knows or loves her more either. (I have stock in kleenex :) )
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I repeat - you are a saint!
Don't do anything without consulting your vet but I was given a spray that is wonderful to heal wounds quickly. It is so good I use it on myself and it does work. It is like a spray gel. No odor. It is called Vetericyn VF wound and infection treatment. Ask your vet about it next time you go. I wonder if it would work faster than the neosporin.
Others here have used it and swear by it.
I do NOT know of any CC users that have tried it so like I said - ask the vet!
Continued healing thoughts sent to dear Buttercup and strength to you. Oh and what a story about your wallet! Unreal. Makes you believe in mankind. Hugs, Kim
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Oh Dawn - I just hate, hate, hate when the sores crack open and bleed. :mad: I know it must hurt so bad, and it's so painful to watch. Poor Buttercup. I've been too afraid to bathe Tobey with her CC.
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
I only shower her when she gets real stinky, since she is such a big girl she can make a big stink:eek: ( my stinky linky:rolleyes: ) that takes about 8-10 days. In between I just do the compresses and gently rub her down.:p
So hold off on the bathing and just keep doing the wet compresses and rub downs, hopefully your baby will like them as much as mine does:D
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Thanks Sharlene, laughed at the (I have stock in kleenex :) )
So true.
Hugs back at ya

Hugs back at ya

Dawn,
I'd lost my car/house keys at the mall over the summer. I went back to each store and the security office every day for a week and nothing turned up. On the 8th day, someone had finally returned them to Macy's. Even the expensive "Coach" keychain was there! I asked the employee why they thought that it took so long and she said that sometimes small children pick them up and parents' don't find them right away.
It's a great feeling :-)
I'm so sorry that Butter's sores broke open. Poor girl!
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
How WONDERFUL your wallet was returned AND returned complete! There are good people out there in this "wicked" old world! :D This reinforces my hope for mankind!
Bless Butter's heart. :( I think I would learn to live with the Stinky Linky girl as best I could if bathing causes her such pain. Is there some dry shampoo or powder or something along those lines you could use that doesn't require water yet might help with the BO and not worsen the CC? Then there is always the swimmer's nose clips. ;):p:D If you chose to go the nose clip route, I want your phone number so I can hear you talk! :p:p:D:p:p
Hugs,
