  • I sure hope you find your B! I'll be sending good thoughts from out here in Colorado!


  • Thanks Michelle!


  • I posted it to the BRAT-CHAT list.. I hope he gets found and returned safely soon!


  • Oh my… and I know Stitch.... sired by Parry's Jaadii....

    Oh my… and I know Stitch.... sired by Parry's Jaadii....

    I know Pat! It is just making me sick. He is a stunning dog, and only a carrier…so we have high hopes for him...

    I am praying that he is just lurking somewhere, and will be found shortly.


  • Andrea! I hope he comes home soon!


  • Stitch has been found! YAY!! He was over a mile away from home, and the people who found him were able to place him because of his microchip. They are involved in rescue and new exactly what to do!

    Thanks to everybody who offered up a thought and a prayer :)


  • HOORAY for the people who found your baby!!!

    HOORAY for the people who found your baby!!!

    Thanks Elena :) Although, Stitch is not mine :) He belongs to my good friend Dr. Tracy Leonard of Select Basenjis. I don't want to take credit where it isn't due :)


  • Thank goodness…. thanks for letting us know Andrea... Stitch is a very handsome boy... but of course I am prejudice... since I loved his daddy... who left for the Rainbow bridge way too early due to Fanconi. Stitch as Andrea said is a Carrier, so still has lots of offer the breed, bred to Clears!

    Hi Pat,

    Can you explain what "carrier" means to those of us who are not familiar with it and what are the implications and what we need to watch out/look for or do/don't do if we have B's that are "carriers"?

    Thx…

    For Sure… with the Fanconi Test Basenjis can be Clear of the Fanconi gene, Carrier of the Fanconi gene or Affected with the Fanconi gene. In breeding you would always want to only breed a Carrier to a Clear, in doing that you would only produce Clears or Carriers, but never and affected. If you go to www.basenjihealth.org there is a chart and here is another link to a chart showing what you would get breeding clears, carriers, and affected.

    As far as anyone with Carriers, your Basenji will not ever develop Fanconi, it just means they are carriers of the gene and if bred to another carrier or affected, they then could produce offspring that would be affected. Same with Clears, if your Basenji comes back as affected, you need to be very, very diligent with monthly strip testing and there has also been thoughts of doing blood gases to see if any changes to the blood values. This could be helpful in treatment of a Fanconi dog, as the biggest thing is to catch it early for the best chance that treatment will be effective.

    And since our gene pool is small, it is never a good thing to throw out the baby with the bath water, as the saying goes. There are ways to preserve the gene pool and not lose many of the bloodlines that have Carriers and/or Affected.

    Ahhh, now I know a little more… Thx!

    I'm so glad Stitch was found!!! :)
    It seems putting out those flyers as soon as possible really helped... It almost makes me think to prepare (such flyers) now, along with my emergency contact sheet, just in case my B gets lost then I won't have to worry what to put on the flyer, then just print the flyers and post them immediately, and start contacting the shelters and such...

    If the dogs are having similar symptoms as in the previous years, they need to be treated ASAP! It is my understanding that many are developing the acquired Fanconi Syndrome and need to be put on the protocol. Many vets though do not have the equipment to do the venous blood gas test and get an accurate diagnosis. Emergency vets should have the equipment. Do not buy any dog treats that come from China and if the package does not state where it is from then do not buy it! Jennifer

    If you ship him underneath in cargo, don't forget there are temperature restrictions. Where would you transfer planes at? This summer has been hot in many cities! Please check the requirements for the airline you will be traveling on. There is usually a limit to the number of dogs allowed on board and in cargo. You will need to make a reservation for him at the time you make your own. There may be additional requirements since you are coming from Canada, you will need to check with the USDA, the CDC and the State of Massachusetts. You can find the requirements on the USDA website and it has links to each state. http://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/pet_travel/pet_travel.shtml You need to make sure the carrier will fit under the seat so if the carrier you are considering is much larger than the large size Sherpa brand bag I doubt it will fit under the seat. I used to travel with Arnie onboard about 10 years ago before 9/11. I trained him to get in and out of the Sherpa bag and to stay in for short periods of time. He almost always laid down in it. He never made noise even when we were in first class and they served food! Most people did not even know I had a dog. I also made sure I was comfortable carrying him in the bag. I figured if the airline employees thought I was struggling with him then he was too heavy and he would not be let on the plane. He was an older pup but weighed about 18-20 lbs. Jennifer

    Jaycee digs same way but she does somersaults head down over she gos first time neighbor saw it they could not beleive it. I think neighbor came over every day for a week waiting to see it again and Jaycee would do it. Yes I very much second that digging usually will cause the great B-500. Rita Jean
