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....
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.
The fanconi test needs to be ordered from the OFA website, https://secure.offa.org/cart.html
Have you talked to Nilo's breeder about health testing. Without pedigree information his tests alone don't provide a very complete picture since disorders like PRA are late onset.
@jinxed_1980:
What is OFA? I hope this is a good thing you guys sound excited about it. :)
And OFA is the place were all Fanconi test results are posted. Information on Fanconi is www.basenjihealth.org
Anyone breeding needs to be testing their Basenjis "before" breeding….. there is no excuse to ever produce another Fanconi Affected pup
