Taking my new foster to the doc
Turned her over on Monday to see what she was licking and her little belly is covered in a rash from her "waist" all the way down. This is the one with Cushings Disease so I'm not taking chances. She's off to see the doc this morning.

I'd post a pic but my main computer died and I'm on the backup. And I can't remember how to do it on this one. *sigh* My rememberer doesn't work all the time.

Is a rash common with cushings? I don't know anything about the disease. Hope all turns out well, please keep us posted!

I don't know enough about Cushings either. I'm trying to educate myself via the internet.

Turned out that she is allergic to something. I thought it looks like the dermatitis I got on my hands but I wasn't taking any chances with this little girl.

Got some topical spray to put on it but by the time we got to the vets, it looked like it was starting to heal on its own.
