the breeder was a friend of my family and only had like 4 litters, he wasnt very experienced, but the dogs were registered. i really dont think he knows very much either,….but i am going to go digging into her registration info and family tree and see what i can find. like i said, she shows no signs, but you know what they say about prevention..... thank you all

i will look her numbers up…thank you for the info

the breeder said her mother(the dogs mother) is dna positive..and also her grandmother….the father(the dogs father) is deceased ....i meant spilling glucose. please bear with me because i am new to this and learning what i need to be doing. i had no idea when i bought her that i needed to ask about these things...which makes no difference to me now considering i love her to death.....now i just have to take care of her.....like i said there have been no signs....she is perfectly healthy,utd on everything , i just want to keep her that way.thank you again for the info.

thank you so much i am on it!!! i am gonna do everything i can to keep my girl taken care of….i really appreciate the info.

No, i mean my dog's mother is fanconi positive, she isnt spilling urine….the mother is 8 years old......all i know is the breeder(which has stopped breeding) called me and told me that my basenji's mother is fanconi positive. so basically, what i need to know is what does that mean for my girl. she shows no signs, is there anything i need to be doing? i will read the links.....thank you for the info.

what do i use to test my basenji? also any information would be helpful…i have read alot, but would rely on people that know about basenjis.....my basenji's mother was fanconi positive and now the vet says she wants to do all these expensive test.....and my girl is only two years old and has no health issues at all since her spay in march.......any info would me appreciated.

Well, i took the girls to the vet today, and the doctor says Heidi has sinusitis…amoxil 3x a day for 14 days...he says Baylee the puppy looks fine, even though i see her nose running a little, he says its is normal to have that wet nose. Time will tell. He also said recheck in two weeks and if nothing changes may need to change antibiotics... He also says Heisi may have allergies....I had never thought about that.....but we will see. Thanks for all your post ,info and well wishing, i think they will be good to go soon!

Thank you for the replies, i am taking them this afternoon. Yes, the breeder stopped breeding basenjis and the oops litter he wanted rid of quick ,but i really hate i have exposed this little one to this, but hopefully the vet can get the jump on it early.Like i said, my Heidi has always been healthy, and i have always kept up with her healthcare, but i just didnt know about the cold thing and i know i can depend on the pack for good info…. THANK YOU!

Hello everyone,
My Heidi is my beautiful purebread, red and white basenji and she was spayed two weeks ago, and had her umbilical hernia repaired, and all of her shots, and she came home very lathargic…which i though was just because of surgery....well she is moving around better, but she has had a horrible "cold" and is sneezing and reverse sneezing, snorting and snotting alot....alot of snot.....and she is on amoxicillin 2x a day...is there anything i can do to help her recover sooner? She is 2 years old...and really the first dohg that i have had since i was a child, she is the best dog ever and i hate to see my girl suffer.
ALSO, We just adopted her "half sister" just a week ago, and it is a basenji/austrailian shepperd , but the mother is my Heidi's mother, and the puppy is 7 weeks old, and is starting to sneeze, what should i do, can a puppy so young get over this mess? This is all new to me, my dog has never been sick until her first time staying at the vet for surgery,and they said she "may " have gotten it there, well yeah! she has never been around another dog, (she is a fence climber, so her acre play yard is wrapped in a 6 foot wooden privacy fence with 6 inches of concrete under) so since she has been exposed,ofcourse she picked it up there!......but any advice i would really appreciate.........Thank you all so much!!!

Gonna call the vet as soon as they open. Thanks.
