You have no idea how encouraging it is to hear this. We took our 1 year old in for a dislocated toe…apparently he has lax joints and that toe needed to be amputated, at that time they x-rayed the other paws and the other back one showed up with lytic bone. The vet said this could be infection or cancer and to amputate that as well. We thought that was extreme at the time and didn't do it. Instead we took anticbiotics to clear up the infection...5 months later we are awaiting surgery in 2 days to have it amputated and sent off for histology. He's been on antibiotics for months and the new ones have taken care of the swelling but now his lymph nodes are enlarged and he is obviously sick. We have had every test possible without amputating and no answers as to whats going on...so happy your dog is going to be fine and have hope that our boy will get the same diagnosis.
Booger's Results
-
We FINALLY got Booger's results today… Robyn (Yodeldogs) traced his geneaology as best she could before I got him tested. With the information she had, she determined his dad is either a carrier or affected, so I was worried since he's at risk.
Well.... drum roll.... Booger is a carrier!!!!!!!!! I cried when I opened it & found out he's not affected!!!!! Best late Christmas present EVER!

What a lovely, wonderful (even if late) Christmas present… congrats on Booger's results...

Thanks for all of the congrats! We're soooooo thrilled both Lola & Booger are not affected!
Now our challenge is…. teaching our breeder :mad:
I told her I was testing Booger & Lola a couple of months ago, and she said "What's Fanconi?" She also then said "What's lure coursing?"
When I called to tell her the good news that neither of them will be affected, I mentioned that at least one of Booger's parents is a carrier or affected, if not both of them. She had a very "Oh okay I'm not really listening I'm just saying okay so you'll stop talking about this" response. I tried to describe some of the symptoms & she was like "Oh none of mine have it!"
Frustrating! -
…happy for you:)... sad for her and her pups:(...
-
Exactly, good for you…. sad for the pups that she will be producing and selling to unsuspecting families..... but you did what you could... and good for you for trying...
