I know this is a very old thread, but since the topic of cutaneous vasculitis is being discussed on YT right now concerning sweet Romeo, I wanted to post an update 7 years later.
Update...Our Piccolo is still going strong after 7 years of remission from this auto-immune disease. Below is a picture that I took for her 10th birthday in November. She does have black ears from the scabs but that is about it.

I'm so thrilled we had a wonderful vet dermatologist to lead her through recover and I am praying for Romeo since he is going through something similar right now.
I also gotta mention, how can you not love YT? When there is a problem we get together and let members know if they need to post something. Thank you to ladyjane for getting in contact with me and also for her taking an interest and helping Romeo's mom. You guys are the greatest.
