  • 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.

    And just because she can "chew" on the other side, food stuffs and bacteria can still get in through the bad tooth. Honestly, not something to put off….. the sooner the better

    The only sounds I can consistently coax out of Jake are the ones where he sounds possessed. Step 1: Flip him on his back Step 2: Tickle/Rub his spine area Step 3: Wait for the demons He'll make other noises when he feels like it but I haven't figured out the "triggers" yet.

    Who would have thought that worms were so interesting. My farm vet insists that dogs be wormed monthly but mine are on a weekly homeopathic wormer. I'm so pleased that Nahla has got rid of hers. And i accept what others have said about the possibility of a pup womitting up a worming tablet.

    I think that in the future that it would be important to get a blood sample when or just after she is having the episode…. if it was a plant, critter bite... by now the toxic substance would most likely be gone.
