You have no idea how encouraging it is to hear this. We took our 1 year old in for a dislocated toe…apparently he has lax joints and that toe needed to be amputated, at that time they x-rayed the other paws and the other back one showed up with lytic bone. The vet said this could be infection or cancer and to amputate that as well. We thought that was extreme at the time and didn't do it. Instead we took anticbiotics to clear up the infection...5 months later we are awaiting surgery in 2 days to have it amputated and sent off for histology. He's been on antibiotics for months and the new ones have taken care of the swelling but now his lymph nodes are enlarged and he is obviously sick. We have had every test possible without amputating and no answers as to whats going on...so happy your dog is going to be fine and have hope that our boy will get the same diagnosis.
Meeka's test results

So I never got Meeka's results in the mail or email, but I checked the OFA website and I found her. She tested Probably Carrier! I'm so happy! I was nervous about getting the results since she is a BRAT rescue and I don't know anything about her past.

Yay congratulations! What a relief…
-
Yay!!! That's great! Ours are both rescues, though we have more info on Fiji (not all good re: Fanconi unfortunately) - just ordered our test kits so we'll be holding our breath for a bit.
