Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Y

    Hi…I have a 9 year old Basenji with slightly elevated liver enzymes. I am familiar with Fanconi syndrome as a kidney disorder. I had the dog to the vet and he ran tests for Cushings. That was ruled out. We did blood work...the only thing outside of normal range were liver enzymes.. ALKP / 463 U/L and ALT 259 U/L. She is drinking a bit more than usual but well within the accepted normal range of 1 oz. per pound of body weight. We also did a hypo thyroid test...a little on the high side but within normal range. I had a dog with Fanconi but liver enzymes were never an issue. Does anyone have any thoughts on this situation? Could this be an early warning sign of Fanconi? I would appreciate any and all help!
    Thanks
    Gay F.

    The more data that is in the data base, the better people can use the that information as this is a Linkage test only… and errors can be made either human or test....

    @agilebasenji: I have a friend who has a nonbasenji dog that was just diagnosed with Fanconi. They (owner and vet) started the dog on the Gonto's protocal. (yea!) I know there is a Fanconi list, but did not know if it was open to just Fanconi affected basenjis or if other breeds were welcome. Also, is it a yahoo group? thanks It is a yahoo group and it is open to anyone with a Fanconi affected dog, or so I have been told.

    Thank you for all the information. I am going to a dog show in Springfield, Illinois next weekend to meet some dogs from Meiterhaus (Tad Brooks). This makes me feel alot more comfortable. :D
