Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Leslie, you are to funny:D!!
Doxiesrocks, I was thinking the same thing, that a kid might have found it and put it in their back pack and forgot about it, and that they may have gotten a new one for christmas and when they emptied the old one their parents found it. Just so happy it was returned safely to me.
Losing your keys must have been a real nightmare too, its amazing who those 2 items when lost can reek such havoc in our lives:rolleyes:
Butters is snoring, she just to dang cute:D

Yes it was. Those electronic key fobs are expensive to replace.
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Oh I love that gentle snoring sound they make. Molly I swear to god, can drop to sleep in a nanosecond and drop right into snoring full out. Puts me right to sleep when she does that. (must be catchy like yawning)
Oh good lord, those electronic key fobs and even the keys are ridiculous expensive to replace. It's like there is the vehicle and then there are these things made out of gold you need to get them to run!
hugs all,

Such a great deed someone did to get that wallet back to you, but I do not blame you for not answering the door. I am glad you got it back though that was very sweet of whoever did it. I am hoping for a great year coming up for you and Butters. I looked at all her pictures, and all I can say is God Bless you both as this CC is the most awful thing ever. Her whole dis almost covered now. I am praying it goes away soon. When do you return to Davis? Do you speak with them weekly? If so are they happy with her progress so far? Do they have anything to suggest for the CC? Blessings

Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
This whole Cushing's situation is just so depressing especially the CC, it seems to never end, I ? Myself if I have done the right thing for her, her qaulity of life is so poor right now! Its heart breaking to see her this way. I cry often for her. Was I being selfish to put her through all this? Would it have been better if I were to have released her from all of this? Feeling guilty .
We go back to Davis Monday the 6th, I'm praying that all that I have done and put her through is not in vain and that her levels are coming down.
She truly is the best thing that has ever happened in my life and want to honor her for all the love she has given me all these years and give her every chance possible as I know she would do for me if she could.

Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Some days are harder than others I think. Until you know the actual numbers and how she is doing clinically, it is hard to try not to second guess yourself.
CC is the hardest of all symptoms to get to totally clear up and Butter had a very bad case of it, so it might take a while, a Long while for it to get better. I've read on the internet 6 months or more sometimes.
Lets see what the docs have to say and ask them to in addition to everything else, evaluate the cc.
Do you feel like it is still spreading? or do you feel like it is stable or even a couple spots might have cleared up?

Dawn:
I don't think you are selfish. You did the very best you could for your wonderful sweet Buttercup. You had her best interests at heart. Yes part of this is for us too, but we are only human, and do not want to face losing our best friend in the whole world. I think you will have a much better understanding that what you did was for her best interests after your Davis appointment. Hang in there until then. I am crying all day with Tipper too. Cushings is the worst thing I have ever been thru. Just try to get yourself thru to the 6th. You are doing a wonderful job, and you are the best mom Butters could have. You gave her that one shot in a million that other dogs don't get to have, so don't for one nano second think you are selfish. Blessings

Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
my flynn had severe cc too last summer, it was bleeding from time to time. i did not know what it was then, i thought he ran through some plants/bushes he reacted allergic to. during autumn it began to dry in and when he died it was almost gone totally by itself, i put vetramil on it, but nothing else, so i hope it will spontaniously heal with buttercup too.
i noticed people thought that he was contagious and avoided us. and were giving not so nice comments sometimes. do you experience that too? watch her carefully; as long as she still enjoys life, go for it, if not then it is time to think about letting her go. hope they can give you some good news the 6th.
Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
I think Butter is a fighter just like her mum. I think she has responded well to the radiation treatments and we'll know for sure on the 6th. The cc I already commented on, about asking what they think at the university.
Hang in there Dawn. You are doing GREAT!
