  • k thanks tanza!, but when i got on the web site at ofa.org hit don't come up with his resaults!!. when can i do now!!!.

  • Terry,
    The Yahoo Fanconi list is only for dogs that are already spilling.

  • thanks tanza, i had company over and could't message back earlyer, but i have the ketone strips! i'm going to get the other one now!!.

  • It generally takes about 4 weeks or so for results to post the OFA site.

  • i'll try to get on that site right now !!, thanks again , i canceled the vet apointment for today, there was a vet that called me tellying that if it is in the early sages that it wouldn't show up in the test!, i got the call as i was reading the message u gave me saying the same thang but i didnt get that far on ur message!. thanks for everythang!!.

  • do i go on the web site ? www,yahoo.com??

  • ivoss i just call the ofa and there going to email, his resaults and the explination of the resaults too!.that way i can take it in to the pet shop and see whats'going to happen about me getting my money back!!.

  • Pedro, if I were you, I would keep a journal of all the dates, times and who you spoke to re this breeder and the pet shop. Some places have a time limit for refunds. The fact you notified them asap is good, IMO, but you need to have some documenttation to support your claim if it takes a while.
    Just my thoughts on this.

  • hi there sharronhurlbut!, i'm already ahead of you!!. i have that private eye instinked from my mom!!. i have the names and time's and dates on my cordless phone i'd!!!.

  • You do not want the Ketone urine strips. You want the urine strips that test for glucose which are either Diastix or Clinistix.

    When was your dog born and what is his registered name?

  • 12/06, and i cant'get the resaults on the offa site!, there sent it to my email address!. thats how i got the resaults. and i did get the diasstixs!!.

  • hi guys i will know by tomarro if i get my money back!! from the pet shop!!. i'll let u guys know tomarrow night on what happens!!!!!!!!!>

  • Pedro,
    good for you for being ahead of me. I am delighted your such a wonderful basenji mom that you want to make them pay for this boys issues and that your doing the testing you need.
    Hugs and hugs.

  • Tanza!!! A dr.keller called me from the ofa office, explaineing it more to me!!. I understand it more now!!!!.

  • hi well sharronhurlbut, tanza, ivoss !, i really owe all to u guys for your help and the qick advise you guy have gave me! but but well see about the money tomarrow, and i told the lady at the pet shop that it was only fair that i get atleast 1/2 of my money back!! and the only reason i'm askinf for half is because she said she never hurd about this disease and she would haven't taken pedro if she knew the breeder didnt do the test!. sharronhurlbut, i'm not only going totry and have them pay for is medial stuff but also 1/2 my money back because i'm going to keep him nomatter what!.

  • @pedro:

    That's great for you… again, I am not sure why they changed the wording, but still means that according to his DNA he is at risk to develop Fanconi. I hope that it never happens, but at least you will be prepared

    He will eat when he is hungry… they will not stave themselves.... put his food down, leave for 15/20 minutes tops and then pick it up... no food till the next regular meal time... tough love... eat or not.... his choice

  • k thks i'll try that!!.

    @Andrew: Worst feeling ever!!!! Lola got to half of a chocolate covered granola bar …I had heard somewhere you have a 30 minute time limit before the chocolate does damage. Just wanted to share this link showing the amounts of different types of chocolate it would take before you see a toxic reaction. http://www.vspn.org/Library/misc/VSPN_M01325.htm If it was a sugar free granola bar, and contained Xylitol, that would have been much more dangerous however. -Nicole

    Often dogs don't know WHERE to go, in a new place. So, take them out every 3 hrs and treat/praise with proper elimation. Also, keep the areas of the apt your not in, closed. Keep the dog with you, and if you see the nose down, take it out. This should pass as the dog gets more settled. We travel a lot with our dogs, and we keep them with us in motel rooms, with closets, bathrooms shut. When they act like they are sniffing, we take them out. Also, extra exercise with your b will help. Good luck

    Thanks for all the help. I got the martingale one for now. Maybe I'll get the hound collar later, but I figured I'd get the kind I already know and swear by.

    Well, at least PetSmart has pulled them because of concerns. I found them missing when I went to work in our treat aisle today!!! http://www.itchmo.com/smokehouse-brand-dog-treats-pulled-from-petsmart-shelves-2869 We will be speaking to his vet about this ASAP, though he's keeping food down and has his energy back.

    I do agree with Tanza that yous hould check what is under the deck stairs that cause her booboo. My B loves to dig so I think you should check out what can hurt Lillie in case she is inclined to be a digger like my B. Hope she feels better. Give her lots of hugs and kisses.

    Gipper sometimes get a little agressive, but nothing more than a growl or a nip. It ususally comes when he gets woken up from a nap outside of his crate and someone other than myself tries to put him up. When he's already awake, he's fine. Also, I've noticed that he is virtually perfect when it's just me and him, or him and my roomie- basically when it's him and one other person, he's the most mellow, relaxed little gentelman you'd ever meet. But when two people are there… it takes about a half hour for him to calm down and quit jumping and wanting to rough-house. I try to wrestle with him for about five or ten minutes a day, to let him have some play time, all the while pinning him, letting him know that I am still the "Alpha Male" and always will be. It seems to work really well, because he's getting better and better as each day passes.
