Treating heartworm infected dogs..
http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?A=610

No offense intended, but the Beloved Bulldogs site was not written by a vet and seems a bit dated to me. Having had a dog treated for heartworm years ago, believe me the arsenic treatments can be dangerous and painful. (See above link)

Thanks,

Both come from one very good breeder in Holland, his whole kennel is tested clear.
We're going to test our Brindle one for hd and some more health tests (Buana is already tested before) and we will discuss it woth our vet.

He is very interested in Basenji's and knows a lot about Fanconi.

@AnandaKiora:

They sent it on Tuesday. A few weeks o.k.whew, I was worried they might not have got it.

The take the blood and then extract the DNA… it can take a week or two to get that posted on the CPP site, they don't just post that they received blood.

@wizard:

I've looked at that website but still don't understand the reason behind doing this test. It doesn't check for genetic defects just parentage. It seems it undeniably verifies parentage, but isn't that what the AKC registration does? There must be something I'm missing.

It is to prove parentage… as you could put any name of any dog on a set of papers and sent them it.... which in cases of Puppy Millers and some BYB's that is was was being done..... so the parents were NOT the parents of a given puppy. If you read the minutes each month on the AKC site (Secretary's page) you can see how many litter registrations were reversed "due" to DNA parentage.

@tanza:

If you go to www.basenji.org, you can get information about Fanconi from Dr. Gonto that developed the protocol. Best to print it off and take it with you tomorrow… and good luck....

I believe you should print the information about Dr. Gonto's protocal and give the information to your vet. Your vet can follow Dr. Gonto's treatment program, i.e. lab tests to run; follow-up lab suggestions; therapeutic goals; management dosing guidelines, etc. Your vet should read all the information. There is also also correspondence info: address, email and phone/fax numbers to reach Dr. Gonto.

So sorry for you and your baby. Good luck with your visit tomorrow. I would go in armed with this information.
