Fanconi testing results

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • My dog's blood tests came back probably clear and probably carrier. Do I need to continue to do the Diastix testing?

  • @Kebasmom:

    My dog's blood tests came back probably clear and probably carrier. Do I need to continue to do the Diastix testing?

    So you have one of each? And no, you do not have to continue with the Diastix testing, only if they came back as Affected….

    Good for you and your "kids"...... yea!!!!!!!!!!!!! no worries about Fanconi

  • Congrats for the results!!! :)

  • My boy came back with the probably clear reading and my girl came back with the probably carrier reading. Well that's good news that I don't have to be the pee catcher anymore…... :)

  • Again that is great that you don't have to worry about Fanconi and that super

    … but only goes to show that it is so important to test.... I (sorry) don't remember where you got your Basenjis... but I am guessing the sire and dam's were not tested... so the Sire and Dam of your girl, one will be a carrier at best and one clear, or both can be carrier, or one could be affected and one carrier. Hopefully you will let the breeder know that they need to test before breeding again... as there is every chance that they could be producing affecteds.
    Even your boy could have a carrier parent... and be clear or worse both parents could be carriers and have a clear...

    Or you could have bred your girl to a carrier and produced affecteds....

  • Fantastic! Thats great news. happy dance

  • Congratulations on your good news :)

    That is a huge relief about the cheek swab…She absolutely HATED having her blood drawn and has been mistrustful of the vet and vet techs ever since. I didn't not realize that there were many errors in the original test. I stopped frequenting this forum shortly after I had her test done and haven't really heard anything from the basenji world until I got the e-mail. I will definitely get this re-test done as soon as possible and will pick up some strips tomorrow so I can start testing her urine. Thankfully she has not been showing any signs of poor health and has always done well on checkups.

    I know that quality breeders will keep the lines as strong as possible while making sure the pups are not affected. Really, that is all anyone can ask.

    If the test shows affected your basenji will probably come down with fanonis

    @etzbseder: Thanks, I've seen that before, but forgot about it. After looking at that, it shows that my answer would be: Clear pups ONLY means that neither parent is affected, and that does not change with multiple clear pups. The only thing that shows any determination of the parents is a test of the parent themselves (or if their grandparents are clear). correct. The more clear pups (with no affecteds or carriers) you had from the breeding of the same two animals, the more LIKELY it is that the parents are clear…but it certainly would not be a for sure.
