Basenji Health Issues & Questions

    Couldnt decide whether to put this in this thread, or the other one…

    I took Saba and Ochre into the Vet yesterday to collect swabs for Haemolytic Anaemia, and I just sent them off today :D. Now begins the LOOOONG agonising wait for the results to come back, and patience is definately not my strongest point ;).

    Then next, I had the forms that I had downloaded, from the OFA site, (thanks Tanza...), to have them both assessed for basic cardiac status and their patella status, and Im pleased to say they both have EXCELLENT patella's and EXCELLENT cardiac assessment. So I have sent my hubby off to the bank to get our Aussie dollars changed over to American Dollars, and then to post them off to the OFA site... Yaaaaaaaaaaaay :D:D.

    Then last Friday, I sent off the info I needed to the OFA site, so they will send out the swab so I can get Ochre tested for Fanconi :). Saba is already done... Probably Clear/Normal...

    Also I just want to double check this... I can take Ochre's swab myself, cant I ??? I dont need to take her to the Vet, and have them do it ??? i just want to double check this...

    Once again a huge Thank You to Kylie from Wazazi Kennels, for breeding these lovely sound hounds !!! :D Im one proud mumma at the moment :D.

    Yes, you can do the swabs yourself, you do not need to take her to the Vet…

    And great news on your tests so far.

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.
