EPI Survey

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • The Basenji Club of America's health committee is looking for information about EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) affected basenjis. If you own an EPI affected Basenji it would be greatly appreciated if you filled out the survey below and submitted the answers to epi@basenjinet.net . If you know owners of EPI affected basenjis please pass this survey along.

    Thank you.

    EPI Questionnaire
    Dog's Registered Name

    Dog's Registration Number
    *If your dog is not listed in the pedigree database, http://pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/ please provide a 3 generation pedigree.

    Age of Onset

    Symptoms Observed

    Method of Diagnosis

    Did the dog develop SIBO?

    How has the dog responded to treatment?

    Is the dog registered with the Canine Phenome Project (CPP)?
    *If you dog is not registered with the CPP, http://www.caninephenome.org/, please consider doing so. It is free and helps provide information to our researchers.

    If yes, when was the health survey for the dog last updated?

    Does the dog have blood submitted to the CPP?

    Would you be willing to submit a fresh blood sample for the dog in the future if requested?

  • Hey Lisa, will this be on the BCOA site? I think I can link from here but I'd to put this on our club FaceBook page.

  • I am not sure but I do have a facebook note with the questionnaire so you can share that on your club's facebook page.

  • Thanks. I linked to the note. Hopefully there won't be permission issues sharing it. But I'm sure someone will comment if there is.

  • I set the privacy settings for the note to Everyone so it should be fine.

    No sore spots whatsoever - though his stomach is almost permanently "taut" or flexed, unless he's had his anti-inflammatory meds. He eats well and can go to the bathroom well, but as days pass his hind legs are getting worse and worse (to the extent I'm sure he'll just end up permanently lame if I don't anything more). I am praying/hoping/wishing that laser therapy can provide some assistance, as his one session of a few weeks back resulted in him being almost "back to normal" for about 4-5 days! If I can get another miracle result, I think I will look into multiple treatments until he seems better. This is such a stressful time, but I'm grateful for your condolences/suggestions - everything helps - thank you so much!

    Did she always have them or did they start after something/some time? Do antihistamines clear the problem?

    @mryltis Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
