Glad to hear things have improved. If it was a partial blockage perhaps it has resolved, but I agree that a vet check would be a very good idea just to be safe.
Help asap please

Onset of symptoms can be as early as 2 years old or as late as 10+. It is very important that you purchase Urine Glucose Test Strips, http://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=diastix and check his urine several times a month for life. If there is any color change on the strip then you will need to take him to the vet for a blood gas test.
-
hi there, so would it be a waste of time to get a blood gas test. because i have been doing the strip test every cents i heard of this! zand there's no change in the color!!!.
-
That is a question that is probably best addressed with Dr Gonto or with other people who have Fanconi dogs.
-
who is dr. gonto??
-
Dr Gonto is the author of the Fanconi Protocol, http://www.basenji.org/ClubDocs/fanconiprotocol2003.pdf, his contact information is at the bottom of the protocol.
-
There is a fanconi list that deals with dogs with issues.
They can help you with food that will work best for your boy and support you through this process.
I pray you will not have to deal with the dog spilling sugar until he is very old. -
Pedro, I am happy you are keeping your dog. I know everyone on here will help you as much as they can.
-
NO!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT GIVEN HIM BACK!!!. THERES'NO WAY I WOULD DO THAT!!. U MISUNDERSTOOD, ABOUT GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM THE PET SHOP!!!.they are willing to work with me on this and maybe get at least 1/2 my money back but keep the dog!. I WILL NEVER GIVE HIM BACK! PLEASE DONT' THANK THAT OF ME I WILL AND WOULDNT'EVER GIVE ANY PET OF MINE BACK !!.I STILL HAVE YET TO SEE WHAT I CAN GET HIM ON FROM A VET TO HELP HIM!!. NOW THE VET WANTS TO DO A BASELINE BLOOD TEST, & A URINE TEST!!.
You need to get yourself test strip and then you test the urine yourself monthly after the age of 2 to see if he is spilling sugar… Again you need to educate yourself on Fanconi.

No the pet shop should not be responsible for testing that is the breeders responsibility… pet shops only buy items for resale, they don't know or care about health

If it was me, I would call the breeder and tell them that they need to stop breeding or do DNA testing at least for Fanconi… but first see what the pet shop can do...
-
I would also tell the breeder your going to report them to the USDA for selling sick animals.
That should get their attention. -
Tanza, i will do that and get back to u on it to let u know how it went!!. I will get my money back somehow! Gerinteed!.
-
His breeder is matha reed! Don't ever get a basenji from them!!.
