Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    This was just posted on the Yahoo Fanconi List; important for anyone with a Fanconi affected dog:

    DR. GONTO: ANY communication of a medical nature, such as recommended
    changes in dose or review of blood gasses, whatever…MUST come from the vet
    directly to me, and the response must go back directly FROM me to the vet.

    Apparently having him prescribe directly to an owner could have possible
    legal ramifications, so you must get your vet to call Dr. Gonto at (912)
    598-5067, or to e-mail him at Outdoc@aol.com.

    DR. GONTO continues: Owners can still contact me to give me updates, photos,
    etc., of the dogs, but the MEDICAL stuff must go only from me to vet, or vet
    to me. Under no circumstance can I violate that medical regulation, so I
    would deeply appreciate if people did not expect me to.

    If it is an EMERGENCY situation, have the vet call me or email me DIRECTLY,
    any time, day or night.

    Thank you very much for your understanding. Steve Gonto

    NemoN
    I ordered a test kit for Nemo since he was having what looked like a bad case of inflammatory bowel disease. I had suspicions of some food intolerances and I was going to trial this test to see if it came back with results which were consistent with what I observed. For instance he has always had issues with chicken so I was curious if it would indicate an intolerance. Unfortunately the full panel wasn't available until February and I got the test kit at a point where he was too ill for the test to be of any real use, so I never used it. So, I will be curious to see if it is worth the expense in the future. As much of a pain as food issues are, it would be worth the money for me if it actually works.

    @Kris_Christine: Dr. Dodds is in California, I live in Maine. Despite having had Lyme myself twice, I do not vaccinate my dogs against it. None of them has ever contracted the disease or tested positive even though they get hundreds of deer tick bites every year. Under a separate thread, I'll post some information on Lyme. Great…thanks for that!
