    I decided not to use the plaque off..I have been brushing more but not everyday as I will going forward. I think I decided not to because last year a I expected to have his dental and sort of fix the problem that way and start good habits..then his surgery happened and really it's taken a good long while to get him back on track…I didn't want to add anything that could throw off his system.

    Read all the quotes and statements on Fanconi and work out how contradictory it is for yourself. I don't think many UK Basenji owners do a Fanconi 'strip monthly' and certainly some breeders do advocate no test. Are such breeders irresponsible not necessarily. A 'probable' diagnosis on any medical condition is hardly a scientic diagnosis to say the least but testing is better than not and is certainly better than doing nothing.

    @Buana: Good luck with the test! Did it go well this morning? Yes, it went well, thankfully! He was still asleep when I first started the swab. He woke up for just a few seconds, looked at me, then went right back to sleep. I actually had to reswab him because I didn't feel like I got enough the first time and he didn't even wake up! Now I'm waiting anxiously with my fingers crossed!

    @etzbseder: While we're at this, when they are neutered, how long do you have to keep them from licking? Can they lick in 4 days? or do you have to wait like 7-8 or what? Not till the incision is well on the way to be healed (which would mean the incision is closed..)…. 4 days is not long enough... IMO
