Hi all: Brand new here & looking for help for a friend who doesn't have a computer.

She has a 10 yo Boston Terrier who has had Cushings for a while. Her vet kept telling her that she didn't have Cushings & I was concerned because I thought her symptoms sure sounded like Cushings. I'm not a vet tech or anything like that but I have read a lot about dogs & various diseases. I started doing research because poor Vicki was breaking out w/those lump (calcinosis cutis?????) & she was getting worse by the day. Finally, a different vet diagnosed Cushings (rah rah)!

Now she's on Vetoryl but because this has gone undiagnosed for so long, her skin is in really bad shape. There are some meds she can't take because she has problems w/dry eyes so antihistamines are out. She keeps calling & asking me what she should use on her topically & I just plain don't know. Looked around on the internet but only can find info on hot spots, not calcinosis cutis (that's a real mouthful, huh?) She's using something for hot spots which her vet said was fine (sorry, can't remember what it is right now) but she said it isn't working.

I decided to come to the experts..........

Does anyone have any ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated & I will pass it on.

Thanks.....
