    What was the result? Probably Affected?

    Affected can be hard news to take, but there are ways to watch for issues, and some b's, altho showing affected, never have fanconi crop up.
    So, there is lots of help here, don't lose hope.

    "risk" is not a diagnosis. It should be Probably Clear, Probably Carrier, Probably Affected, or Indeterminate Between Carrier or Clear.

    Can you copy and paste your results into a message so I can see what it actually says? Here is my puppy's as an example of what it should look like when you paste it in.

    L'OX
    M BJ
    Fanconi DNA linkage Received: 01/12/2010
    Processed: 01/15/2010
    Test: FANCONI SYNDROME
    Results: CLEAR

    Or did you get the actual certificate in the mail? There is a 2-4 week lag between owner notification and public posting so I can't go see it on the site yet. If you got certificate type in what it says over the signature. That is where it should say Probably ____________ for Fanconi Syndrome.

    Retesting will not change the result. If he is Probably Affected then you will need to start strip testing him monthly with Urine Glucose Test Strips so you can catch the onset of the disease as early as possible and begin treatment. You should also neuter him sooner rather than later to reduce the stress on his body caused by hormones when rut hits.

    @pedro:

    i just dont'know what to do right now!!.i have been crying my head off.!! he hasnt'shown any signs yet but i was just he was tested as risk!.

    If tested Affected, he will not show signs till after the age of two years. But you need to learn about strip testing and how it is done. Please again, go to www.basenjihealth.org and read about it. The best thing you can do for yourself and your Basenji is to learn as much as possible.

    They should have emailed you a confirmation number that you can then go to the website and login and see the actual result.

    Here is the webpage to enter the confirmation number
    http://www.offa.org/orderstatus.html

    If you did not recieve a confirmation number, email ofa@offa.org and request a duplicate of your confirmation number.

    I wish. Gypsy is getting old and having more problems – sometimes loses her balance, etc. -- and in response Jazzy is getting meaner to her. When the dogs are outside, Jazzy will wait on the porch for Gypsy. When Gypsy approaches the porch to come in, Jazz will run out growling and starting biting at her face. I've been able to curb it a little by letting Gypsy in, and then shutting the door and making Jazzy wait and sit before letting her in. Little things like that... Although other times she will curl up with Gypsy and sleepthere's never any kindness shown; Jazzy bosses her around more than ever, often even chasing Gypsy off of her bed so that Jazzy can lie down on it {I always make Jazzy get back off and let Gypsy back on}, even though Jazzy has a chair and her own bed. It makes me sad. Keoki on the other hand, seems quite oblivious and treats Gypsy the same as always. While those two never snuggle up, they are play-time buddies. Gypsy livens up a good bit when Keoki invites her to play.

    Well, Tosca is just fine I think:) I was kinda worried last night, as the emergency vet said it would probably be ok since she only had half a pill, but they said I could call poison control to be sure. Well, that was going to be pretty expensive (55) so I wasn't too crazy calling about half of a pill, plus she seemed ok, and the vet seemed pretty confident. Then this morning I was a little worried again because she wouldn't eat more than about half her food, which is extrememly unusual, she usually gobbles it right up! But I had to go to work, and I called our usual vet on the way and they said it shouldn't be a problem. Luckily, now that I am home tonight she seems fine:) Thanks for the suggestions, we just got Tosca in Feb and this is the first time I have ever had a dog ( I was deathly scared of them as a kid) but she really has grown on me, she is so sweet, and not like a normal dog.
