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

Thanks! From the way you described it I think Boriss's hard bump is just a calcium type build up. Gonna have that checked next time he goes. It is like we are all just waiting for the next upset.:(
It really stinks to feel that way. Over the last couple of months I have gotten way better at living for the day with him instead of worrying about the future.
Right now Boriss is doing good. He probably won't have to go back to the vet until January. fingers crossed..
Ugga got cushings at such a young age! It is so hard to see them deal with all this stuff. I am with you.. If I was rich I would surround myself in smooshy faced dogs!! :p

Is Ugga feeling any better today?

Hi Amy. Ugga is doing ok, thanks. He's getting really itchy but other than that he seems ok. We started him on 25mg benadryl today so hopefully that will help alleviate some discomfort. When we first started treatment (last Feb) it took about a month before we saw improvement in his skin and it got worse before it got better. I'm hoping we will start to see some improvement in the next couple weeks. Thanks for checking in! :)

Hugs to you and Borris,

~Jackie and Ugga

So glad to hear that Ugga is doing okay. Hopefully the itching will start to go away! :)

yes.. no more itch soon I hope!;)

Hey guys :) I just wanted to post a quick Ugga update. He's been on the increased Vetoryl (30mg BID) for almost 3 weeks now and his skin is really starting to improve...YAY!!! We had to start giving him Benadryl (25mg BID) because he was so itchy the first couple weeks. It always seems to get worse before it gets better. He's still drinking more than normal but less than before the increase. Unfortunately, the Horner's syndrome is still there. It's also affecting both eyes now :(. We've decided to try something a little different. We are taking him for his first acupuncture treatment on Christmas Eve. My vet wants to see if she can help relieve some of his symptoms (mainly the neurological ones but I think she's going to work on the adrenals as well). Crossing fingers...

Jackie good to hear from you. I'm glad his skin is improving. Crossing fingers that the acupuncture will help too. A nice Xmas gift that would be.

Jackie .... what fantastic news! I am so happy for you that Ugga's calcinosis cutis has improved.

Merry Christmas
Angela and Flynn

So glad the skin is getting better. Now just to get that Horner's under taken care of. I hope the acupuncture treatments help with that.

Merry Christmas Jackie to you and Ugga!
Hope the calcinosis cutis continues to improve!
Have a safe and wonderful holiday.
