calcinosis cutis, old problem, new conversations
Submitted by kstokesbary on June 21, 2011 - 11:19amHi, new to the boards. I know there has been talk of calcinosis cutis on here, but wanted to know if anyone wanted to start fresh and discuss it? Our 6 1/2 yr old bully was just diagnosed? I'd love to chat with anyone who's dealt or is dealing with this prior to our starting a chemotheraputical med called atopica. The side effects of that are terrible too.... ugh. Poor Lincoln!
Thanks,
Lincon's Mom, Kelly

I sent you a private message. I'm more than happy to share what I've learned so far.
Got your message!
And thanks for your response... I'm so obsessed with finding out more info on this... and so sad that our bully has it. It's terrible to look and and probably more terrible for them to itch. I will respond to your email w/ more info!!! Cute pup, btw! ;-)

We have experience with this with our first bulldog, Rocky
He was also diagnosed at about 6 years old. His was a side effect of Cushings caused by long term predisone use.
I am sending you a private message with more details about our experience.
