EPI Survey

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • The Basenji Club of America's health committee is looking for information about EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency) affected basenjis. If you own an EPI affected Basenji it would be greatly appreciated if you filled out the survey below and submitted the answers to epi@basenjinet.net . If you know owners of EPI affected basenjis please pass this survey along.

    Thank you.

    EPI Questionnaire
    Dog's Registered Name

    Dog's Registration Number
    *If your dog is not listed in the pedigree database, http://pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/ please provide a 3 generation pedigree.

    Age of Onset

    Symptoms Observed

    Method of Diagnosis

    Did the dog develop SIBO?

    How has the dog responded to treatment?

    Is the dog registered with the Canine Phenome Project (CPP)?
    *If you dog is not registered with the CPP, http://www.caninephenome.org/, please consider doing so. It is free and helps provide information to our researchers.

    If yes, when was the health survey for the dog last updated?

    Does the dog have blood submitted to the CPP?

    Would you be willing to submit a fresh blood sample for the dog in the future if requested?

  • Hey Lisa, will this be on the BCOA site? I think I can link from here but I'd to put this on our club FaceBook page.

  • I am not sure but I do have a facebook note with the questionnaire so you can share that on your club's facebook page.

  • Thanks. I linked to the note. Hopefully there won't be permission issues sharing it. But I'm sure someone will comment if there is.

  • I set the privacy settings for the note to Everyone so it should be fine.

    @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.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂

    @mryltis 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. https://basenjiforums.com/post/177284
