Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • @etzbseder:

    That doesn't answer the question about how to send it (specifically) mostly just questions aobut the test itself and the results.

    It does, you have to go to the link for the CPP program, you have to register your Basenji, then you can print the DNA submission form that has all the details on it. You can't just send the blood without him being in the CPP program. Please scroll down to "When to Test", you will find the link to the CPP (Canine Phenome Project)

  • @JazzysMom:

    I mailed mine at the US Post Office. The blood should be in a protective mailer {so it doesn't break}, and the PO folks will mark it as having "medical hazard" material or something like that.

    It was no big deal. Although, I wish I had a photo of the guy's face when I told him there was dog blood in the pkg. LOL :eek: I had to explain what it was for, lest he think me some kind of weird Satanist or something. :D

    If you didn't register him with CPP and use the submission form with the ID number from CPP, they were not have a clue what to do with it? Were did you send it?

  • Oh, another question. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the results, and is it by email through the canine phenome address or what?

    Sorry, I didn't mention, I have registered with the CPP and filled out all the surveys and just am having issues with the people at fedex kinkos as far as sending it.

    As per the FAQ's the test has been suspended at this time to dedicate time and resources for the direct test. If a direct link is not found, I believe they will start up again with the linkage test approx. late February

  • yeah, it says somewhere that the link was taken offline, but since I was able to click on it and download the form so I thought that the test was back online.

    So should i just send the blood and not the $60 and the fanconi test form?

  • No the link was not taken off line, just the test has been suspended for now.
    If it were me, I would just send the blood and let them extract the DNA, you can send the Fanconi Test form and the money anytime once they have his DNA.

  • I would also recommend just sending the blood and the CPP enrollment form and waiting to submit a test request and money until testing has resumed.

    As for shipping any place that does overnight shipping can send the blood.

    Oh sorry, should have been more clear. I just sent my dogs' blood to Bryan, HE sent it on for testing.

    I was just replying as to where/how to physically mail the blood, not so much as related to the testing itself.

    Me too, should have been more clear, I was really responding to etzbseder about the CPP site and submitting blood, didn't even look to see the message was from you…. ggg

    We had a Dalmatian that started having these issues at the same age as your B. Vestibular disease got worse causing her to lose her balance and fall when walking, loss of strength in her hindquarters and incontinence. I am not aware of any treatments for the VD, but there are a number of human treatments for strokes that might be able to be used in dogs.

    @tanza: Hmm…. I would "bet not".....gggg;) And you'd win! This morning, Magnum followed me down to the laundry room where I had put some painted-up towels I used last night to get off a lot of the paint when it first happened. Luckily, I was able to grab them up just as he got into position to throw himself down and roll on them. (I trashed them after getting them as clean as I could.) He just loves rolling in stuff that's smelly, whether it's a good smell or a bad smell! He may have learned a lesson, but it's obviously not one that's gonna stop him from rolling in smelly stuff! He seems to be okay even after getting several licks of paint in, no tummy problems, his usual laid-back self. Eating and drinking well.

    Phoenix has had a rash like that before i went to the vet I figured a yeast infection is a yeast infection right weather in people or pets so i went and bought some "womans yeast infection meds" those bullet shaped things and just took it out of the wrapper and just rubbed it on his tummy alittle i rubbed it in and made sure he didnt lick at it the next morning the rash was just about gone went to the vet and she said that's what he had and to acaully just use what i did for a day or so and it should be gone it was a surface yeast infection and so as long as i just rubbed that stuff on like it was lotion he would be fine i applaied it 2 more times and it was gone he gets them from time to time and thats all i do it's a alot cheaper in the long run the stuff she said she was going to give me was going to cost me $67. plus the cost of the vet so i figured now i will just save the moeny and go spend 8 :) i would think there might be a problem using that if u have a dog that likes to try and lick it but phoenix could care less he just enjoyed his belly rub while i was rubbing it in :)

    On any older dog, cataracts are very common… It would be very hard for a Ophth. Vet to mix up PRA with cataracts. Did you take your Basenji to a board certified eye vet?
