@GriffinsMom, my girl Lady had a suspected brain tumour when she had a seizure at 13 years of age. My vet put her on Prednisone, and things improved. She was on and off the drug for the next few years until she really started to get worse at just short of 16 years old. My vet said that for some, Prednisone seems to shrink the tumour. Of course, it would depend on size and location. I don't want to give false hope, but you might inquire about it.
Pokey's test results are back
-
I just checked the offa.org site for Pokey's results, and it came back as probable carrier. I am so relieved because both his parents were probable carriers. He is still young yet, so strip testing is a year away at least in our future.

Wonderful news!
And good on you for strip testing in the future! -
Yes, good for you for knowing to strip test even tho you have had the cheek swab done!

You must have really been on pins and needles waiting for the results. I'm glad the news offers some room to breathe for now!

and I love the picture of your babies. I love the independent nature of a shiba inu too as much as I do a Basenji.
I think there will always be a concern about fanconi, but this was a good day.
