    Because by then they should be hormonally mature even if not fully structurally mature. I don't read much research - I follow experience ! Ideally, not at all, but if they MUST be spayed, then let them grow up first.

    @Janneke: Yeah, thought about it.. I think it's from a plant. I believe it is cald hogweed in English. We were at training this morning (yes, again the training) and they grow there. Could well be that it was the hogweed as I have heard of it irritaing humans skin and causing blisters.

    We had the same problem when Seti was a puppy. It turned out that he had crystals in his bladder due to the food we were giving him (I think it was Wellness brand but not entirely sure). We changed his diet and it went away and has never come back. Hopefully your problem is minor like ours!

    @ChaseandZahrasmom: I am so glad that you said that Pat I was a little worried when my vet, whom I have a lot of trust in was the one who had no idea what Fanconi was. I am definelty going to take this information to them tonight when I pick Zahra up, she is there for a teeth cleaning right now. Do you think she is too young to be tested? She is 1 Year 9 months. She is not too young to be tested, but like Lisa said, unless you get the sample in by December 20th, you will have to wait till after February as they are going to concentrate on the Direct linkage test. And there is no reason that you can't wait at this point.. the linkage test was mainly for breeders this past breeding season. For you, I would say wait till after Bebruary and see if we get the direct test…. But you should at age two strip test until you do get the DNA test done In order to do the DNA test you need to register/add your B to the CPP data base and print out the form for the test that tells your Vet how much blood and how/where to send. All that information is at www.basenjihealth.org
