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

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    Had you opened a new bag around the time this started? Sometimes they change ingredients or suppliers of ingredients, which is the way an allergen can sneak in....

    @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

    @tlish: so, do i have this process correct for fanconi testing? 1. register dog with phenome project (almost wrote 'phoneme' - you can tell i'm a teacher) 2. fill out an order for testing kit on OFA site question - does the dog need to be already registered with AKC before you begin this process, or is that irrelevant? thanks! You do not have to register the dog with the Phenome Project. offa.org is doing the testing management so you can go straight there and look under DNA tests.
