One of my Basenjis is also diagnosed with early kidney disease. The vet prescribed Enalapril Maleate (generic for Vasotec). My vet allowed me to choose whatever prescription food I wanted to use. After some research I chose Blue Buffalo BLUE Natural Veterinary Diet KS Kidney Support. I looked into and tried a more holistic food, Dr. Harvey's - a dehydrated food, but Kushika couldn't manage to eat it without getting it all over the walls, kitchen floor, and herself so we went back to the kibble. I liked the Dr. Harvey food AND you can call to talk to Dr. Harvey, who asked me to send Kushika's lab results to him so he could make specific recommendations dependent on those results. Kushika came to live with us at almost 10 years old and was immediately diagnosed with kidney disease. At age 12+ she is still with us, going strong and looking better than when she arrived.
Question about getting results
-
I have sent Booger & Lola's cheek swabs in… I ordered the tests on November 20th, & I sent them back the day after I received them, so I think the lab probably got the samples the last week in November. Based on another thread I read here about Kiora's results, I'm expecting results in 2 weeks maybe. I'm a bit unclear about checking the results online, though... Will the results be posted on the OFA site or the CPP site or both?
I'm just really anxious. I've been checking both sites daily. -

I'm just really anxious. I've been checking both sites daily.Results are not post on the CPP site and only uploaded about every month or two on the OFA site. You should receive an email directly to you with the results. Remember we are in the holiday season, so test results are bound to be running late/slow. You can always call or email Liz at UofMo (information for contacting her is on the forms).

Oh thanks for clearing this up. Now I can stop worrying about checking the site. I somehow missed that they send an e-mail.
This is worse than waiting for water to boil, that's for sure.

I hear you… been there, done that.... and don't be afraid to call Liz.... can't hurt... every once in a while I have heard that the results were on the OFA site and no email was received (but could have been in spam mail).....
Fingers crossed for you that all is OK...

With Nemo, the blood sample was received around 9/10, I got the email results on 10/14 and the hardcopy results around 11/20. The OFA site results appeared sometime after that. I hope you don't have to wait that long, I know it is stressful.
I would recommend calling rather than emailing Liz if you have questions. It seems like they are pretty swamped and it takes some time to update things.

Thanks to you both! I'm thinking I might get results for Christmas this year, for better or worse.

when we did sent our samples in August, the machine for the bloodworks had a problem and was down a few days. I can tell you, that I was sitting here like on hot charcoals. But after I have called Liz and she told me about the problems with the machine, waiting was a bit more easy. We received a eMail with the results only a few days later and after one or two weeks later we received the Certificate with the results by regular mail.

As long as his CPP registration got entered before they received the blood sample, you'll hear eventually. If there was a delay in the registration, the blood results won't be posted and you'll have to call Liz.
