Can you copy and paste your results into a message so I can see what it actually says? Here is my puppy's as an example of what it should look like when you paste it in.

Fanconi DNA linkage Received: 01/12/2010

Test: FANCONI SYNDROME
Results: CLEAR
Or did you get the actual certificate in the mail? There is a 2-4 week lag between owner notification and public posting so I can't go see it on the site yet. If you got certificate type in what it says over the signature. That is where it should say Probably ____________ for Fanconi Syndrome.
Retesting will not change the result. If he is Probably Affected then you will need to start strip testing him monthly with Urine Glucose Test Strips so you can catch the onset of the disease as early as possible and begin treatment. You should also neuter him sooner rather than later to reduce the stress on his body caused by hormones when rut hits.
i called today and they said risk that's all they said to me . but i dont'have the certificate yet!. but i think i did the test wrong!, because i kinda rubbed in the curcle part to hard!!. i thank i'm going to do the test again!.
i just dont'know what to do right now!!.i have been crying my head off.!! he hasnt'shown any signs yet but i was just he was tested as risk!.
If tested Affected, he will not show signs till after the age of two years. But you need to learn about strip testing and how it is done. Please again, go to www.basenjihealth.org and read about it. The best thing you can do for yourself and your Basenji is to learn as much as possible.
hi tanza, is that a real resault saying risk!>??? that's all they said to me today, on the phone. should i even to another test?, because i did kinda rubb tohard in the curcle area on the test.!!??
They should have emailed you a confirmation number that you can then go to the website and login and see the actual result.
Here is the webpage to enter the confirmation number
http://www.offa.org/orderstatus.html
If you did not recieve a confirmation number, email ofa@offa.org and request a duplicate of your confirmation number.
i did get a confermation # but i type it in and get nothing!, but maybe you can and get something?. # SU44T-FBDBJ!

Lisa, yourwonderful. I admire you so much!
Pedro, I am sorry, I made a mistake. Again, I am sorry.
what do u mean a mistake ? on what???>
I am very sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but AT RISK means Probably Affected which is what will show up on the OFA website. Probably Affected dogs are not issued an OFA certificate.
