hi he had the ofa.org fanconi test done and it came back at rick, i talked to john at the office there and he said he has it but isn't showing any signs yet!. but my question now is why wait till the simtoms start to show why not statr the treatments before they start to show! if they have been shown to have the fanconi!!.??
-
There is nothing to treat until symptoms show. The protocol helps to treat the symptoms it does not fix the problem. There is no cure for Fanconi.
-
hi, i understand that it dont'cure the problem, but seen as i did the test and taked to john at the ofa office and he told me it's just a matter of time till i start to see signs of it,! wouldn't it be better to start him on some stuff now instead of waiting for signs to show>?? like a high quality -low protain diet on his food , to start now!?. but don't start any meds till the signs show so i know the amount to get him on!.
-
You should consult or have your vet consult with Dr Gonto about what the best course of action is. I don't think a low protein food is recommended for all Fanconi dogs. A high quality food is good for all dogs in maintaining good health.
-
well wait… i have some more research i did and it's saying to put the dog on a high qulity, low protein food!. is saying that part of the food stuff is the way to teat the syndrome.

i got the information on the wed site… http;//www.caninegeneticdiseases.net/fanconi/FANbasic.htm

Please read carefully, it is when the dog shows symptoms, NOT BEFORE. Just because he test Prob Affected, this is a LATE onset issue and can show up anytime between 3yrs and 12yrs.. usual being around 6 or 7.
There is NOTHING to treat before he shows symptoms
-
K!, but would it hurt to put him on a high qualiy low -protein diet. or show i wait till he shows berofe putting him on that kind of food!!???
-
what does high quality and high protein dog food do for the dog?. and what is the difference on the food!>??
-
High quality proteins are easily digested and do not tax the kidneys as much as lower quality proteins.
-

Pedro, your boy isn't sick YET. So, get him on the food Pat recommends and strip test his pee every few days. Do this until you see the color change. THAT is when you need to do the suppliments for him.
-

Honestly, any good quality food is good and if you are concerned about protein, go with one that is moderate
Strip test at least once a month for about 3 to 4 days in a row

Same time every month is a good way to remember, doesn't matter when during the month.
Again as far as food, you need to read the ingredients and then decided for yourself. There are a number of good foods…
