My B turned three this month. I've been looking for the testing strips everywhere & have only found the Ketostix made by Bayer. Are these correct?? Or should I keep looking for the Diastix??
@Saving Thanks so much for the information! I am researching further and continuing with her rehab exercises as best I can.
Glad you recovered from your spinal injuries.
Sorry to be so late on commenting here. There are several Facebook groups you may want to join. 2 are Basenji specific.
Bladder Stones Basenji - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1505737939475808/
Canine Cystinuria - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1264949876904169/
The third group is secret and you need to be Facebook friends with a member in order to join. Contact me if you are interested in joining - Basenji Cystine Bladder Stone Awareness.
@Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.
To give you an idea of the contrast between Basenjis and Border Collies, my BC once spit out a pill, I said "Blackie" in a disapproving tone, and he picked it up from the floor and swallowed it!

Read this comment from @morgansc within this post dated May 30, 2019, 7:49 AM. It answers your question. Ideally it is best to wait until age 24 months but no early than 18 months.
