Re: new to Cushing searching for advise for Buttercup (Calcinosis cutis)
Today was a a good day for Butters. It actually started last night. Cuddling under a blanket together and watching the 50 yr tribute to the Beatles and sang along and to Butters, some real quality time together. She held ALL night, took her out about 10:30 and when I got up this morning at 6:20 her wee pads were DRY.
When I got home from work she came trotting across the house looking for love, tail was gentle wagging and acting more like her old self . When I went out to the garage to get the mail she rushed past me, to get out there and find her ball, she found it and I could tell that she was so proud of herself for finding it, she carried it back in the house and to her bed and proceeded to chomp on it till her dinner was ready. Now with a full belly she is relaxing on the couch.
Praying that she has many more days like this one.
Very happy mommy and Buttercup

Dawn, what a beautiful Valentine's gift from Butters!
I have a question for you about using Trizchlor. The vet gave me a medicated (chlorhexadine) shampoo with directions to use it once a week for two weeks, then as needed. I suspect Pansy has calcinosis cutis, but that has not been confirmed by a vet. I have read here several mentions of keeping CC dogs dry, so I wonder if I should try using the Trizchlor spray instead of a bath. Is it just sprayed on the fur (some of pansy's scales are exposed)? Light or heavy spray? How frequently are you using it?
Edited to add that I see you answered some of this already, sorry I missed your PM. I've modified my alerts!

Vicki is going to be trying out a holistic herb mixture and she also has an appointment with a specialist for her Snuggles, to see if they can get something going to shrink his tumor, (surgery is not a good option for him either) allow him to have good quality of life going forward. (he is fine right now too) So you should check out her thread and maybe compare notes.
