Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • I have taken suuny to 3 vets in his 5 year life span and dont really like any….......... I always had better luck diagnosing sunnys problems better myself than the vet. I always come back with NO REAL ANSWERS but always a HiGE bill . This month alone i spent 500.00 dollars for two vet visits.

    I can overlook the bill if the i had good resolutions .............

    Any suggestions ....Please help

  • Where in NJ? I mean it's not a huge state but certainly not worth driving from north to south or east to west.

    IF you are near Bristol, PA… just a hop across the bridge... I highly recommend Pets Best Friend, Dr Shirley Jeffers. She was research vet before, utterly great, and her Vet Tech Brenda is my go-to person even though I now live in GA!

  • Wow. that is great . Bristol, PA is not far at all from me. I am in central jersey for another 2 months but then i move to south jersey in burlington county, so from bordentown, nj bristol shows to be only 20 min drive…..............I LOVE IT . i drive 40 for my current vet office.

  • You'll love her then, she does rescue stuff, is simply wonderful.

    I live in the east suburbs of Pittsburgh. I take my B to Norwin Veterinary Associates. Ask for Dr. Harvey Bendix, if he is available. He diagnosed Senji with his liver disease and basically saved his life. He's open to alternative as well as traditional medicine.
  • Do I take him to the vet?

    Info sent from BCOA: Improved Methodology For FANCONI LINKAGE Tests: FTA Paper / Saliva Option A new process has been implemented for ordering Fanconi tests that uses saliva rather than blood for sample collection using FTA paper. Dr Johnson may still request blood for some research projects, but in many cases, the FTA paper will satisfy that requirement. The new procedure will also allow you to check the status of your test request online with use of a conformation code that will be emailed to you when the order is placed. You can now order a test on the internet and pay by credit card. The price the kit and test will be $65 to cover the cost of the kit and mailing. The test can be ordered from one of two websites: 1- The The Canine Phenome Project website From the dogs profile page in this site, click Fanconi Test. This will link you directly to the OFA site to order the test kit. 2- The OFA site. [[url]www.offa.org] Go to the "OFA DNA Testing" link on the OFA website The test kit will allow the use of saliva applied to a special paper card that can then be returned to the lab. The special paper (FTA paper) will supply enough DNA samples for over twenty tests so when the direct marker is found, no further DNA collection will be required. Adding the dog to the Canine Phenome site is still required before results will be sent, but the ordering the test kit is a separate entry at this point. The kit consists of the FTA card Foam swab to collect the saliva Instructions Labels for mailing to the University of Missouri Any tests in progress from the previous procedure will be completed. The OFA and the University of Missouri have entered into a cooperative agreement to offer this new procedure. Thank you!
