    Go and get urine strip sugar test strips at the Pharmacy. Make sure they are for testing sugar in the urine. Get him to pee on the strip and read the results (more like matching the color to the bottle). Testing should be once a month, however you will note that the test strips are only good for about 6 months… so I always tested about 3 or 4 days in a row... that way I didn't feel like I was wasting them... and really when they start to spill early, some days they will, some days they might not... but spilling is a indication of something being wrong...
    And you might consider have the DNA test done, right now for the next few months they are trying to find the direct marker, if not they will continue with the Linkage test... either way you can use the test to see what his DNA shows for Fanconi

    I had one of my basenjis - help me celebrate mine by getting on the table and eating my cake - when no one was looking.

    Could have been worse - I had the huge cake for my sons high school graduation and he did not eat that one.

    (I might have attached a picture) (or maybe not)

    HAPPY BARROOOOODAY CHAMP!!!!

    Luzmery-you can buy the strips at Duane Reade near you. They usually sell them behind the pharmacy counter. They come in a yellow & white box & it's Diabetic Strip Tests. What you're doing is bascially testing your dog's urine to see if there is any glucose in his urine. If the test strip turns colors then that means he's "spilling" glucose. That's the first sign of Fanconi. Hope this helps :)

    I have never found that it makes a difference… but you do want to try and catch the stream "mid" pee if you can

    Or take them both, and be relaxed about it all. The less anxiety in you, the calmer they will be.

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    Don't feel bad about getting bit…she probably was sorry as soon as she realized what happened. Darting movements can garner such a reaction from any animal (and some humans) when they aren't used to contact. Chasing a Basenji, even when you really need them to come to you (sometimes especially when you need them to come) quickly becomes a game and they will play tirelessly. You could try a training exercise wherein you have really good cookies in your hand and call her just to give her a cookie. It won't take long for her to come to her name if she associates it with something good. Don't give up.

    Yes,,,,I know I need to change my name,,,,,,,thank goodness the "kids" havent seen it yet or they may think I only love two of the three of them,,,,,ha ha. Also, we have thought about fostering a BRAT dog. I am a teacher so I have the summers free. We decided to wait until after the spring though to sign up because my son is a senior and I am afraid the spring will be to crazy to try to help a BRAT dog that may have some issues. However, we would be open to the transporting. BTW , Senji, we are going to the Northwest part of IL (about 25 miles from Iowa) soooooooooooooo if you want us to make Czar our first transport that can be arranged!!! :)

    My basenjis are very well known at my vet's office. Since we are in so much when we have a litter everyone in the office knows my dogs. When I call, I just give my dog's name and they know who they are talking to. I always know when there is a new vet tech when they dogn't know my dogs when I call. Everyone there loves my dogs. When we first started there we were the "good basenjis" now I think we must have set the standard for basenjis since we are now "the basenjis".
