You will not get anything in the mail if Prob Affected, only Clear and Carriers get any type of paper results.
You could just wait till they are posted on the OFA site (www.offa.org) and direct them to the site.Why would you give the Vet my website?
-
i just checked the web site and i wouldn't come up with his resaults!.
-
so maybe he can learn a few thanks, but if u don't want me to that fine too!, but i will give him this www,ofa.org site!!.

Sometimes it takes quite awhile for the results to show up on the OFA site.
Fanconi is no longer the quick death sentence it was before Dr. Gonto's protocol, but many many vets are not knowledgeable about it. Dr. Gonto is more than willing to talk with your vet.
Because you have not seen symptoms yet, you may not need to get the blood gases yet. However, I personally would strip test for sugar in the urine more frequently, keeping in mind that some dogs spill intermittently especially in the early stages of the syndrome. The strips are relatively inexpensive and easy to read on your own - you don't need the vet to do this. You can get them at Costco or Sam's Club or any pharmacy. Just make sure you get the Diastix and not the Ketostix.
If you want, you can also join the Yahoo Fanconi Dogs list - just go to Yahoo Groups and look it up for contact info. There are people there with a wealth of experience with Fanconi affected dogs, and it's a wonderful, supportive group!Don't panic, many dogs live long, happy, fulfilling lives with this syndrome, just love him for as long as you have him.

k thanks tanza!, but when i got on the web site at ofa.org hit don't come up with his resaults!!. when can i do now!!!.
-
Terry,
The Yahoo Fanconi list is only for dogs that are already spilling. -
thanks tanza, i had company over and could't message back earlyer, but i have the ketone strips! i'm going to get the other one now!!.
-
It generally takes about 4 weeks or so for results to post the OFA site.
-
i'll try to get on that site right now !!, thanks again , i canceled the vet apointment for today, there was a vet that called me tellying that if it is in the early sages that it wouldn't show up in the test!, i got the call as i was reading the message u gave me saying the same thang but i didnt get that far on ur message!. thanks for everythang!!.
-

-
ivoss i just call the ofa and there going to email, his resaults and the explination of the resaults too!.that way i can take it in to the pet shop and see whats'going to happen about me getting my money back!!.
-
Pedro, if I were you, I would keep a journal of all the dates, times and who you spoke to re this breeder and the pet shop. Some places have a time limit for refunds. The fact you notified them asap is good, IMO, but you need to have some documenttation to support your claim if it takes a while.
Just my thoughts on this. -
hi there sharronhurlbut!, i'm already ahead of you!!. i have that private eye instinked from my mom!!. i have the names and time's and dates on my cordless phone i'd!!!.
-
You do not want the Ketone urine strips. You want the urine strips that test for glucose which are either Diastix or Clinistix.
When was your dog born and what is his registered name?
-
12/06, and i cant'get the resaults on the offa site!, there sent it to my email address!. thats how i got the resaults. and i did get the diasstixs!!.
