Hey about the feces. My princess, Chiomba Dayo, had dark feces as well. Brought her to the vet and they said it may of been blood. Some tests were done and $ was spent to find it wasn't blood but bilirubin. apparently its caused from to much stomach acid and or the liver not being able to break up fats… We were told to try a low does antacid, over the counter no name brand. This improved her feces color and her appetite! But its just one more thing to do every morning. I feel like she owns me, not the other way around.
Pokey's test results are back

I just checked the offa.org site for Pokey's results, and it came back as probable carrier. I am so relieved because both his parents were probable carriers. He is still young yet, so strip testing is a year away at least in our future.

and I love the picture of your babies. I love the independent nature of a shiba inu too as much as I do a Basenji.
I think there will always be a concern about fanconi, but this was a good day.
