  • Pedro, your boy isn't sick YET. So, get him on the food Pat recommends and strip test his pee every few days. Do this until you see the color change. THAT is when you need to do the suppliments for him.

  • what was the food that pat wanted me to get him on??. was it a high qulity low protein ot high qulity and high protein??>! i have the strip and i have started testing him. but how offten should i strip test!??.

    Honestly, any good quality food is good and if you are concerned about protein, go with one that is moderate

    Strip test at least once a month for about 3 to 4 days in a row

  • thks tanza, i have been testing him 2x a week!, but i thiank it was high protien food!!. do you guys have any names of food that the healthy basenji's like and names??.! he? very picky!!.

  • should i do this in the mid of the month?.

  • @pedro:

    should i do this in the mid of the month?.

    Same time every month is a good way to remember, doesn't matter when during the month.

    Again as far as food, you need to read the ingredients and then decided for yourself. There are a number of good foods…

  • Pat, she might need a bit more help than that..suggestions maybe?

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    Pat, she might need a bit more help than that..suggestions maybe?

    I can only answer by naming the foods that I use, I don't recommend things I don't use. The Natural Balance foods are good, Potato and Duck for example. People really need to learn to reseach themselves and feed what they are comfortable with

  • thks tanza, i'm going today to get him some moderate protien food!!. i have been testing him and sofar it hasnt changed!.

  • Pedro, we hope you don't have any signs of this illness for many years to come.

  • thks !! i hope no one ever has to go through this!. i got him some other food the moderate protein kind!.maybe starting this ven if he hasn't show any signs might help more!!. to pospone it longer!!?? i can only keep my fingers cross now! my daughter at chruch yesterday they offered people to come up and lite a candle and she went a lit one for pedro!!. and came back to sit down and said to now this has to help him mom!! but maybe by me trying to put him on a moderated portein diet not might help even more!??.

  • Pedro, some of us here have loved and lost b's with fanconi. I just have to tell you that you need to remember is this. THE DOG DOESN'T KNOW HE IS SICK. now read this again.
    The dog doesn't know he is sick. He gets up each day and enjoys what happens.
    You need to do this as well. YOU know he might get sick on day, but you just prepare for this, and you let it go and enjoy your beloved dog and the life you have together.
    Enjoy this time. Watch, but enjoy. Do you see what I mean. Love the time you have now.

  • hi, i'm getting the blood gasses done this week just to see where i'm at. i has started him on some good food already. & i talked to dr. steve gonto yesterday and told him what i have been doing i even got his email address, so i can talk to him more & more on the stuff to do for him when and if he starts to show signs!. but i'm goiing to make sure he lives life to the fullest!.thks.i'll keep everyone here posted on his testings!!.

    I do agree with Tanza that yous hould check what is under the deck stairs that cause her booboo. My B loves to dig so I think you should check out what can hurt Lillie in case she is inclined to be a digger like my B. Hope she feels better. Give her lots of hugs and kisses.

    I personally know a Basenji that died from raisin toxicity. It is definitely a real, and serious concern.

    I do now seeing what you say I do agree with a more verbal and/or stand up and as you say "higher dog" split them up. And I have seen this many times, where my boxer would do that at a dog park, he's such a dork lol, some dogs would start arguing and he'd go shoulder his way inbetween them and just stand there. I can also understand your point that there are a high number of boxers that don't get the clue and subtle hints, and part of it JMO is back to training. And the whacking them in the face, yep thats a boxer, lol. And I can understand that Basenjis don't like that. When we frst met our neighbor that had a Basenji, Reggie tried his normal "boxer" techniques (but thankfully he's not a face wacker) to get the B to play, pawing at him, low woofs, etc, since that didn't work he took the B's toy and stood there squeaking it at him and then took off in a game of chase, they were friends until we moved away.
