Just got Ayo's test kit in the mail… Will do it maybe tomorrow. I am suddenly very nervous!!! I want to find out about express mail from here first so that i am sure i can send it quickly....
Did you receive a pedigree?
Before the definitive Fanconi DNA test, I was testing my rescues for glucose in the urine at 2 years of age. I have not yet retested my dogs with the updated DNA test so they are still being tested for glucose in the urine.

That is a huge relief about the cheek swab…She absolutely HATED having her blood drawn and has been mistrustful of the vet and vet techs ever since. I didn't not realize that there were many errors in the original test.
I stopped frequenting this forum shortly after I had her test done and haven't really heard anything from the basenji world until I got the e-mail. I will definitely get this re-test done as soon as possible and will pick up some strips tomorrow so I can start testing her urine. Thankfully she has not been showing any signs of poor health and has always done well on checkups.
Thanks once again Tanza ;).
Again I will have to wait for this test to be done…
Khani's, our dogs first birthday pressie was info on how to be a good doggie, and follow all the rules Mummy has laid down for them ;););)... I cant believe that they wont follow the manual...
And chances are that your vet will tell you that there is no test.
Just because it has been available for nearly two years does not mean that they know it is now here.
You can do the fanconi tests without seeing a vet at all. Finger's crossed both your Bs come back NOT affected.
And remember everyone, they really do go bad, so please do not use them past the date….. if there are some of you that live close or even you could do it by mail, you might think about sharing the strips instead of just tossing them
