  • Give me a little time to check with some people and I will post when I get a response. Probably in a day or so.

  • thank u! i just went back on the ofa.org site and put my confermation # in and it came up but it's saying that he's ?t risk".!.please get back to me saap. and thank soooooo much for every ones'help here!. i'll take to u in a day or to!.thks again.!

  • Lisa, yourwonderful. I admire you so much!

  • Pedro, I am sorry, I made a mistake. Again, I am sorry.

  • what do u mean a mistake ? on what???>

  • I am very sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but AT RISK means Probably Affected which is what will show up on the OFA website. Probably Affected dogs are not issued an OFA certificate.

  • That is sad news - I am sorry to hear it. Now it's most important to do as much for your dog, Pedro, that you can, by working very hard to keep your basenji as healthy as possible, and to find a good vet to work with. Others here will be able to offer you more information - I just send my best wishes.

  • hi, i talked to another breeder and she has never heard if a test coming back at risk!, and told me the same thing as ivoss was saying before that that is not a sure resault!. that it's not a diagnoses!to see if i can get another test at no charge!!!.

  • if a basenji carries both genes i'm guessing the genes are carrier and affected/ does that mean the dog is at RISK OF DEVELOPING THE FANCONI OR DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY MIGHT NOT EVER GET IT!!???>

    Lisa checked with Jon Curby who works with the U of MO lab and OFA and it does mean Prob. Affected. They just changed the name to At Risk, however we believe that they will be changing it back. Jon was going to check and see why it was changed, but again, it still means the same.

    Most important thing now is to keep your Basenji as healthy as possible and I also agree that neutering him would be the responsible thing to do.

    If both dogs carry the gene and they both pass it along to the offspring then the offspring is going to be Prob. Affected and they are of high risk of developing Fanconi. Most of us believe that if the test is Prob. Affected, they will at some point get Fanconi.

    Again, if you would read about how the testing works at www.basenjihealth.org it would give you a better understanding of the test and the results.

  • Pedro, this is awful news for you. I am so very sorry. I had a dog with fanconis, you will find a lot of support here. Its importand that you find a vet who can help you keep your basenji as healthy as possible for as long as you can.
    If you post the town you live in, I am sure someone can help you find a vet with the knowledge you need.

  • thanks everyone!!!!! i'm going to do my best to help him live till hes'12 to 14 yrs old ! he'll be the oldest basenji to ever live with this sh~T!!. how much does it usually run in medical bills for this?.

  • thanks lisa,i have been on the phone allday trying to get ahold of john at the ofa !, but now i guess i don't have to ask him about it now!!. i'm soooo mad that a breeder would sell a puppy like this to someone and not tell them!>>>

    Often dogs don't know WHERE to go, in a new place. So, take them out every 3 hrs and treat/praise with proper elimation. Also, keep the areas of the apt your not in, closed. Keep the dog with you, and if you see the nose down, take it out. This should pass as the dog gets more settled. We travel a lot with our dogs, and we keep them with us in motel rooms, with closets, bathrooms shut. When they act like they are sniffing, we take them out. Also, extra exercise with your b will help. Good luck

    Ninabeana – I'm echoing ChaseandZahra and others here but TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS on this because the p.b. certainly will pick up on them. Have your brother contact the pitbull rescue societies as well as the military support groups. It's tough I know.

    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.
