Question about getting results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I have sent Booger & Lola's cheek swabs in… I ordered the tests on November 20th, & I sent them back the day after I received them, so I think the lab probably got the samples the last week in November. Based on another thread I read here about Kiora's results, I'm expecting results in 2 weeks maybe. I'm a bit unclear about checking the results online, though... Will the results be posted on the OFA site or the CPP site or both?
    I'm just really anxious. I've been checking both sites daily.

    Results are not post on the CPP site and only uploaded about every month or two on the OFA site. You should receive an email directly to you with the results. Remember we are in the holiday season, so test results are bound to be running late/slow. You can always call or email Liz at UofMo (information for contacting her is on the forms).

    Oh thanks for clearing this up. Now I can stop worrying about checking the site. I somehow missed that they send an e-mail.

    This is worse than waiting for water to boil, that's for sure.

    I hear you… been there, done that.... and don't be afraid to call Liz.... can't hurt... every once in a while I have heard that the results were on the OFA site and no email was received (but could have been in spam mail).....

    Fingers crossed for you that all is OK...

  • With Nemo, the blood sample was received around 9/10, I got the email results on 10/14 and the hardcopy results around 11/20. The OFA site results appeared sometime after that. I hope you don't have to wait that long, I know it is stressful.

    I would recommend calling rather than emailing Liz if you have questions. It seems like they are pretty swamped and it takes some time to update things.

  • Thanks to you both! I'm thinking I might get results for Christmas this year, for better or worse.

  • when we did sent our samples in August, the machine for the bloodworks had a problem and was down a few days. I can tell you, that I was sitting here like on hot charcoals. But after I have called Liz and she told me about the problems with the machine, waiting was a bit more easy. We received a eMail with the results only a few days later and after one or two weeks later we received the Certificate with the results by regular mail.

    Regards,
    Esther

  • As long as his CPP registration got entered before they received the blood sample, you'll hear eventually. If there was a delay in the registration, the blood results won't be posted and you'll have to call Liz.

    Behavioral difference depend on the dog, the age the dog is neutered and other factors. Lots of studies on the topic but mostly you avoid the heightened mating response to other dogs in heat and chance breeding. Behaviorally, effects are generally not that much otherwise.

    Kathy, I sure didn't mean to indicate it isn't a godsend or fantastic! Of course it is. I just meant… well as the Arabs say, Trust in G-d but tie your camel. Get the testing, use it to help guide breeding, retest if necessary, but keep doing the strip test. It's an easy if annoying process that protects your dog against testing errors or human errors.

    @agilebasenji: I have a friend who has a nonbasenji dog that was just diagnosed with Fanconi. They (owner and vet) started the dog on the Gonto's protocal. (yea!) I know there is a Fanconi list, but did not know if it was open to just Fanconi affected basenjis or if other breeds were welcome. Also, is it a yahoo group? thanks It is a yahoo group and it is open to anyone with a Fanconi affected dog, or so I have been told.

    Both Sugar and Dimisi are fastidious cleaners of their private parts. Every once in a while-Shadow doesn't really like cleaning himself-I put a little corn syrup(I'm talking about a dabbing of it) around his private area to facilitate himself cleaning himself.
