    @Buana: Good luck with the test! Did it go well this morning? Yes, it went well, thankfully! He was still asleep when I first started the swab. He woke up for just a few seconds, looked at me, then went right back to sleep. I actually had to reswab him because I didn't feel like I got enough the first time and he didn't even wake up! Now I'm waiting anxiously with my fingers crossed!

    Thats a good idea… Maya sleeps through anything (and snores!) so maybe i could try doing it while she's still asleep!

    I am hopeful this will be a test every basenji owner does. It gives you information so, if needed, you can be prepared. Knowledge is power and keeping our dogs with us as long as we can is the thing we should all strive for. I am so happy to live in this time. Who knows, maybe in the next 10 yrs, fanconis will be like rickets…we just don't see them.
