Northern NJ area Vets? Clinics who can do venous blood gas test?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • T

    Fanconi has recently reared its ugly head with my 9 year old basenji. Id like to get him treated but all of my local vets have very little knowledge with it, along with the Gonto protocol. The vet currently handling my basenji does not have the capabilities for venous blood gas testing and im having a hard time finding someone who can. Is anyone here from north jersey? Do you h ave any suggestions on vets or clinics to get the test done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Because the current test is a marker test and not a direct gene test, I don't know how useful the test would be. This is a question you would have to ask directly to the researchers.

    I know my 2 b's don't do well on anything with Lamb in it. So, that would be something to watch for. IMO

    @tanza: Then you are fine…. worst would be a Carrier... no worries.... That's why I chose Katie. After much research into breeders in my area I was very impressed with the bloodlines she produces, and happy with how she has bred to clear any possibility of Fanconi from her bloodline. ALways good to wait longer to get a pup and know you chose the right breeder. :D

    @jessi76: another vac I didn't see on your list is Lyme. Ask your vet about it IF tics are prevelant in your area. where I live, ALOT of dogs are coming down with Lyme disease (spread by deer tics), so I didn't even think twice about getting my dog the vaccine. although we keep him on a flea & tic preventative, the vaccine is another added precaution. like I said though, only if tics are an issue in your area. No, they don't seem to be a big deal here, the worst "pest" we have aside from fleas are chiggers or you may know of them as sand fleas. Thanks for you help.
