Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • J

    Anyone have a recommendation for a vet in Pittsburgh?

    Dexter has had very loose stool since we got him, and it has gotten the point of diarrhea over the past day. We have to go in for a wellness exam and vaccination anyways and I hope to find a vet experienced with Basenjis if anyone lives around this area.

    Thanks!

    Once you rule out any medical problems, food allergies, etc., pumpkin (canned, unsweetened) can really help with loose stools. I have also found that squash (I use acorn) is great as well.

    What are you feeding Dexter right now?

    Just curious, but have you changed his food since you brought him home, or is he on the same food he was on at Kyle's?

    Thanks for the replies. Dexter is on Orijen, the same food he was on with Kyle.

    Thanks Therese…this vet thing has got me a little flustered. I will give Scarlett a big B hug from you, I'm sure she misses you and Kevin too.

    Info sent from BCOA: Improved Methodology For FANCONI LINKAGE Tests: FTA Paper / Saliva Option A new process has been implemented for ordering Fanconi tests that uses saliva rather than blood for sample collection using FTA paper. Dr Johnson may still request blood for some research projects, but in many cases, the FTA paper will satisfy that requirement. The new procedure will also allow you to check the status of your test request online with use of a conformation code that will be emailed to you when the order is placed. You can now order a test on the internet and pay by credit card. The price the kit and test will be $65 to cover the cost of the kit and mailing. The test can be ordered from one of two websites: 1- The The Canine Phenome Project website From the dogs profile page in this site, click Fanconi Test. This will link you directly to the OFA site to order the test kit. 2- The OFA site. [[url]www.offa.org] Go to the "OFA DNA Testing" link on the OFA website The test kit will allow the use of saliva applied to a special paper card that can then be returned to the lab. The special paper (FTA paper) will supply enough DNA samples for over twenty tests so when the direct marker is found, no further DNA collection will be required. Adding the dog to the Canine Phenome site is still required before results will be sent, but the ordering the test kit is a separate entry at this point. The kit consists of the FTA card Foam swab to collect the saliva Instructions Labels for mailing to the University of Missouri Any tests in progress from the previous procedure will be completed. The OFA and the University of Missouri have entered into a cooperative agreement to offer this new procedure. Thank you!
