Chafuko

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Yesterday we went to our vet for Chafuko?s health tests!
    We tested him for HD and blood was taken for all the other tests (Theroid, HA)

    About a few weeks, we will know the results and also know if he becomes available as stud! :)

    He is already fanconi clear, and when these results are good we are going to register his DNA, then the whole picture is clear.. :)

    It was very nice at the vet, I used to work there during my study and every time we are there I can help the vet.
    Yesterday I assist with the x-ray, It's great to do someting I've learned for and I like so much.
    Chafuko needed some anesthetic to stay calm.. he is very sweet but at the vet… :eek:
    The x-ray was perfectly and the vet and I think he is HD- free.. he has beautiful hips.. but we let that decision to the proffessors..
    No we have to wait....

  • I wish you the best all is good. Sounds like your home free that is great. Nice you got to help and be right beside Chafuko. I am sure he liked you being there.

  • Sounds like good results are coming your way. I will be keeping my fingers crossed, he will be an awesome stud..for sure.

  • Thanks Rita Jean and Petra!

    We?re hoping some breeders can/will use Chafuko in the future… It's going to be great to see little Chafuko's playing around :D

  • You can send me one here in U.S. I can make it a little Kansas puppy then Jaycee will have a friend.

    Great! :D I'll have to ask the potential interested breeder how many stamps we need for a Basenji :D
    Let's wait for the results first :)

  • Great should I start buying stamps now???? You could move here in states and make it much more easy?????

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.
