Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Lots of good info in this post, for folks who didn't read it the first time.

  • @Basenjinewbee:

    My little girl is from Benita. she is in Sparta, TN. I'm recently concerned with Kili having Fanconi and I was looking for info on her parents to see if they had tested yet. Doing a google search I came across this VERY old post. Figured I'd reply anyways.

    I tested my b for fanconi and he was negative. I also had ofa and Penn hip done on him but he was in the 40%. So I neutered him. She is not a reputable breeder. Way back in her lines there are some good dogs but she breed some bad lines in. It's always good to check for fanconi early detection is important. On a sad note my Colby was hit by a car and killed last September when a visitor let him out.

  • Oh, I am sorry about the loss of your b to cars. Sadly, when they get out, the are often not car smart.
    Hugs.

    Not Robin, however if over all he is a good, well put together, good temperment dog, with light pigment, I would used the dog provided that you have a bitch that compliments him. Of course would be great to see stacked pictures of him.

    @agilebasenji: I have a friend who has a nonbasenji dog that was just diagnosed with Fanconi. They (owner and vet) started the dog on the Gonto's protocal. (yea!) I know there is a Fanconi list, but did not know if it was open to just Fanconi affected basenjis or if other breeds were welcome. Also, is it a yahoo group? thanks It is a yahoo group and it is open to anyone with a Fanconi affected dog, or so I have been told.

    Katie is a strange one. The vet taught us how to check for mammary cancer because of the body change, but she's still in the clear. This is the same dog that broke out in hives so bad during her first and only heat, she was put on Methylpredisolone for the duration. The more she licked to keep herself clean, the more hives she got. She was either allergic to herself, or so stressed nerves got the better of her and brought out hive like bumps. Never had a allergy/hives outbreak since. She's a strange one for sure.

    Both Sugar and Dimisi are fastidious cleaners of their private parts. Every once in a while-Shadow doesn't really like cleaning himself-I put a little corn syrup(I'm talking about a dabbing of it) around his private area to facilitate himself cleaning himself.
