  • Terry,
    The Yahoo Fanconi list is only for dogs that are already spilling.

  • thanks tanza, i had company over and could't message back earlyer, but i have the ketone strips! i'm going to get the other one now!!.

  • It generally takes about 4 weeks or so for results to post the OFA site.

  • i'll try to get on that site right now !!, thanks again , i canceled the vet apointment for today, there was a vet that called me tellying that if it is in the early sages that it wouldn't show up in the test!, i got the call as i was reading the message u gave me saying the same thang but i didnt get that far on ur message!. thanks for everythang!!.

  • do i go on the web site ? www,yahoo.com??

  • ivoss i just call the ofa and there going to email, his resaults and the explination of the resaults too!.that way i can take it in to the pet shop and see whats'going to happen about me getting my money back!!.

  • Pedro, if I were you, I would keep a journal of all the dates, times and who you spoke to re this breeder and the pet shop. Some places have a time limit for refunds. The fact you notified them asap is good, IMO, but you need to have some documenttation to support your claim if it takes a while.
    Just my thoughts on this.

  • hi there sharronhurlbut!, i'm already ahead of you!!. i have that private eye instinked from my mom!!. i have the names and time's and dates on my cordless phone i'd!!!.

  • You do not want the Ketone urine strips. You want the urine strips that test for glucose which are either Diastix or Clinistix.

    When was your dog born and what is his registered name?

  • 12/06, and i cant'get the resaults on the offa site!, there sent it to my email address!. thats how i got the resaults. and i did get the diasstixs!!.

  • hi guys i will know by tomarro if i get my money back!! from the pet shop!!. i'll let u guys know tomarrow night on what happens!!!!!!!!!>

  • Pedro,
    good for you for being ahead of me. I am delighted your such a wonderful basenji mom that you want to make them pay for this boys issues and that your doing the testing you need.
    Hugs and hugs.

  • Tanza!!! A dr.keller called me from the ofa office, explaineing it more to me!!. I understand it more now!!!!.

  • hi well sharronhurlbut, tanza, ivoss !, i really owe all to u guys for your help and the qick advise you guy have gave me! but but well see about the money tomarrow, and i told the lady at the pet shop that it was only fair that i get atleast 1/2 of my money back!! and the only reason i'm askinf for half is because she said she never hurd about this disease and she would haven't taken pedro if she knew the breeder didnt do the test!. sharronhurlbut, i'm not only going totry and have them pay for is medial stuff but also 1/2 my money back because i'm going to keep him nomatter what!.

    That's great for you… again, I am not sure why they changed the wording, but still means that according to his DNA he is at risk to develop Fanconi. I hope that it never happens, but at least you will be prepared

    He will eat when he is hungry… they will not stave themselves.... put his food down, leave for 15/20 minutes tops and then pick it up... no food till the next regular meal time... tough love... eat or not.... his choice

    @k9collars: I'm not sure you'll be able to stop this problem with the harnesses. Often times, hair loss is from the hairs getting into the weave of the webbing and then it being plucked out. For that problem, you'll need a fabric against their skin that would be of a tight enough weave that the hairs can't get into the weave. Second problem is the friction. The dog is continually in motion rubbing, while the harness is stationary. Back and forth, back and forth. Nylon webbing may not be abrasive when touched, but over time it will have the effect you've noticed. Perhaps a softer lining might work (satin, polar fleece), but over a long distance, it too may have the same result. Time to reach outside the Basenji family to find rollerbladers that take their dogs with them. They must've come across this problem. Nick Lexington, KY Thats what is great about Ruff Wear they really go above and beyond to prevent the friction wear and the hair being pulled out too

    Well, Tosca is just fine I think:) I was kinda worried last night, as the emergency vet said it would probably be ok since she only had half a pill, but they said I could call poison control to be sure. Well, that was going to be pretty expensive (55) so I wasn't too crazy calling about half of a pill, plus she seemed ok, and the vet seemed pretty confident. Then this morning I was a little worried again because she wouldn't eat more than about half her food, which is extrememly unusual, she usually gobbles it right up! But I had to go to work, and I called our usual vet on the way and they said it shouldn't be a problem. Luckily, now that I am home tonight she seems fine:) Thanks for the suggestions, we just got Tosca in Feb and this is the first time I have ever had a dog ( I was deathly scared of them as a kid) but she really has grown on me, she is so sweet, and not like a normal dog.
