I feel so bad for anyone having to deal with this CC it is surely a horrible thing to try and get rid of. Blessings

Yes, the skin is very pink and raw looking, like it had been burned and now peeling away. I think exactly what you are describing.
I have been putting the DMSO on daily, not every three days... hmm... It smells so horrible, none of the other pugs come near it. And, every time I let them sniff part of her lesions, they take a sniff and back away from it. Its like they know its bad.

Renee:
This CC is certainly such a terrible thing to try and cure. I am sure your other babies can smell the flesh disintegrating. This has to one of the more wretched things this Cushings does. I am so sorry you and your baby have to go thru this. It hurts me just thinking about it. Blessings

Thanks Patti. It is really hard, almost worse than any other symptom at the moment. It sounds gross, but you know how dogs are, my Ichiro would eat any scab (barf), but he won't go near these lesions. I keep wondering how many layers of skin the CC will go through?

Renee: I have a few pics of Cosmo in my album on here if you want to see them. But I think you have to be in my "contacts" list, unless I make the album public.

you should be able to access it. Pics #1 & #2 were recently added. #3, #4 & #5 were from a few weeks ago.
Just updating.
Just got off the phone with the vet and we are scheduled to run the ACTH and LDDS test next week.
Symptoms continue to persist. I will be so glad when we get this diagnosis behind us and can start treatment.

I think Cosmos cc looks a little better in the later pictures.
Next week is going to be a busy one it sounds like Renee.
