    You will not get anything in the mail if Prob Affected, only Clear and Carriers get any type of paper results.
    You could just wait till they are posted on the OFA site (www.offa.org) and direct them to the site.

    Why would you give the Vet my website?

    Sometimes it takes quite awhile for the results to show up on the OFA site.

    Fanconi is no longer the quick death sentence it was before Dr. Gonto's protocol, but many many vets are not knowledgeable about it. Dr. Gonto is more than willing to talk with your vet.
    Because you have not seen symptoms yet, you may not need to get the blood gases yet. However, I personally would strip test for sugar in the urine more frequently, keeping in mind that some dogs spill intermittently especially in the early stages of the syndrome. The strips are relatively inexpensive and easy to read on your own - you don't need the vet to do this. You can get them at Costco or Sam's Club or any pharmacy. Just make sure you get the Diastix and not the Ketostix.
    If you want, you can also join the Yahoo Fanconi Dogs list - just go to Yahoo Groups and look it up for contact info. There are people there with a wealth of experience with Fanconi affected dogs, and it's a wonderful, supportive group!

    Don't panic, many dogs live long, happy, fulfilling lives with this syndrome, just love him for as long as you have him.

    Terry,
    The Yahoo Fanconi list is only for dogs that are already spilling.

    Pedro, if I were you, I would keep a journal of all the dates, times and who you spoke to re this breeder and the pet shop. Some places have a time limit for refunds. The fact you notified them asap is good, IMO, but you need to have some documenttation to support your claim if it takes a while.
    Just my thoughts on this.

    You do not want the Ketone urine strips. You want the urine strips that test for glucose which are either Diastix or Clinistix.

    When was your dog born and what is his registered name?

    Glad to hear things have improved. If it was a partial blockage perhaps it has resolved, but I agree that a vet check would be a very good idea just to be safe.

    @k9collars: I'm not sure you'll be able to stop this problem with the harnesses. Often times, hair loss is from the hairs getting into the weave of the webbing and then it being plucked out. For that problem, you'll need a fabric against their skin that would be of a tight enough weave that the hairs can't get into the weave. Second problem is the friction. The dog is continually in motion rubbing, while the harness is stationary. Back and forth, back and forth. Nylon webbing may not be abrasive when touched, but over time it will have the effect you've noticed. Perhaps a softer lining might work (satin, polar fleece), but over a long distance, it too may have the same result. Time to reach outside the Basenji family to find rollerbladers that take their dogs with them. They must've come across this problem. Nick Lexington, KY Thats what is great about Ruff Wear they really go above and beyond to prevent the friction wear and the hair being pulled out too

    Often dogs don't know WHERE to go, in a new place. So, take them out every 3 hrs and treat/praise with proper elimation. Also, keep the areas of the apt your not in, closed. Keep the dog with you, and if you see the nose down, take it out. This should pass as the dog gets more settled. We travel a lot with our dogs, and we keep them with us in motel rooms, with closets, bathrooms shut. When they act like they are sniffing, we take them out. Also, extra exercise with your b will help. Good luck

    Gipper sometimes get a little agressive, but nothing more than a growl or a nip. It ususally comes when he gets woken up from a nap outside of his crate and someone other than myself tries to put him up. When he's already awake, he's fine. Also, I've noticed that he is virtually perfect when it's just me and him, or him and my roomie- basically when it's him and one other person, he's the most mellow, relaxed little gentelman you'd ever meet. But when two people are there… it takes about a half hour for him to calm down and quit jumping and wanting to rough-house. I try to wrestle with him for about five or ten minutes a day, to let him have some play time, all the while pinning him, letting him know that I am still the "Alpha Male" and always will be. It seems to work really well, because he's getting better and better as each day passes.
