Northern NJ area Vets? Clinics who can do venous blood gas test?

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • T

    Fanconi has recently reared its ugly head with my 9 year old basenji. Id like to get him treated but all of my local vets have very little knowledge with it, along with the Gonto protocol. The vet currently handling my basenji does not have the capabilities for venous blood gas testing and im having a hard time finding someone who can. Is anyone here from north jersey? Do you h ave any suggestions on vets or clinics to get the test done? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    @AC~Akeyla: I was wondering when we should have our 1 year old B's checked for Fanconi? For some reason I thought they had to be a certain age. And what is the best way to go about getting them tested? And you are most likely thinking of the urine test strips, which was the only way to detect Fanconi before the DNA Test that is now widely used. Since Fanconi is a late onset, usually it was recommended that Basenjis be strip test with urine test strips beginning no later then age 3 (and tested once a month, every month). If you have a Basenji that DNA tests for Affected, then you still will need to start testing them monthly no later then age 3.

    And chances are that your vet will tell you that there is no test. Just because it has been available for nearly two years does not mean that they know it is now here. You can do the fanconi tests without seeing a vet at all. Finger's crossed both your Bs come back NOT affected.

    @tanza: Then you are fine…. worst would be a Carrier... no worries.... That's why I chose Katie. After much research into breeders in my area I was very impressed with the bloodlines she produces, and happy with how she has bred to clear any possibility of Fanconi from her bloodline. ALways good to wait longer to get a pup and know you chose the right breeder. :D
