Thyroid testing

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • My 14 year old Nika has been having some issues. When I took her to the vet her blood test showed the T4 thyroid was low. Years ago I had her tested and she was normal. I had forgotten about the thyroid being a problem. There are a number of issues and problems that can come up as a result of hypothyrodism. Please see this link:

    If you suspect your senji to have any of the problems listed get them tested.
    My Red and White had low thyroid as well. He was very aggressive in behavior.

  • Very good link, thank you for sharing it :cool:

    I have the same idea Maya. I have heard that there are very few carriers left in the world, and that the disease appears to have nearly been erradicated, BUT, to my way of thinking, if there are even a few carriers left in the world, then Im sure I would be the "lucky" one who would put carrier to carrier, so testing for me was VERY important… Im actually a bit anal about testing anyway :D
