YOUNGANDTIRED…. Dr. Gonto

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • JazzysMomJ

    I recommend anyone whose dog is "probably affected" or diagnosed with Fanconi to make contact with Dr. Gonto.

    I got in touch with him via email earlier this week,and he is already proving to be
    incredibly helpful.

    As you know from previous posts, he answered all of my questions on 'pre-treating' the Probably Affected dog; He sent me to Amazon.com for the cheapest test strips – 100 strips for under $18.00 : search for Chemstrips uGK urine test strips for glucose and ketones.

    Also sent me a letter to forward to my veterinarian, with various links and his personal contact info, so the vet can study up and get info BEFORE Jazz is ever even diagnosed.

    You can find his email at the bottom of this info. page. http://www.basenjicompanions.org/health/fanconi/gonto.html

    @lifewithava said in Thoughts on Thyroid Testing with Hemopet/Dr. Dodds?: @rugosa So it's like the 3-year rabies vaccine-- exactly the same as the 1-year product but costs more due to the added testing. When Ava was vaccinated last year, her vet didn't have the 3-year DHPP. Hopefully, she won't need to be vaccinated again. Legally, you don't have to give anything but rabies. And legally it has to say 3 years to be "legal" for 3 yrs. As for the rest, I have every 3 yrs until the dog is old. I give no vaccines after about 7 years old unless there is some new outbreak. Generally, a dog that is healthy is fully immunized by adulthood. If they have autoimmune issues, vaccinations won't help and may make worse. So recommended, don't recommend, when it isn't the law, you get to do what is best for your dogs.

    @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!
