  • i'm glad your on here!. just help me with this and tell me what i can do to know for sure!!. i have been reading more and more on this and it's not a good thing for a dog to have!!. it's a slow death!!.

  • ivoss, i have to take him to the baseball feild to run for a few he's being a little brat right now but i'll be back on at 9;00 pm!. try and be on if u can so i can talk to u!!. thanks for the information u just sent me too it helped me out just now!!!.

  • Can you copy and paste your results into a message so I can see what it actually says? Here is my puppy's as an example of what it should look like when you paste it in.

    L'OX
    M BJ
    Fanconi DNA linkage Received: 01/12/2010
    Processed: 01/15/2010
    Test: FANCONI SYNDROME
    Results: CLEAR

    Or did you get the actual certificate in the mail? There is a 2-4 week lag between owner notification and public posting so I can't go see it on the site yet. If you got certificate type in what it says over the signature. That is where it should say Probably ____________ for Fanconi Syndrome.

    Retesting will not change the result. If he is Probably Affected then you will need to start strip testing him monthly with Urine Glucose Test Strips so you can catch the onset of the disease as early as possible and begin treatment. You should also neuter him sooner rather than later to reduce the stress on his body caused by hormones when rut hits.

  • i called today and they said risk that's all they said to me . but i dont'have the certificate yet!. but i think i did the test wrong!, because i kinda rubbed in the curcle part to hard!!. i thank i'm going to do the test again!.

  • @pedro:

    i just dont'know what to do right now!!.i have been crying my head off.!! he hasnt'shown any signs yet but i was just he was tested as risk!.

    If tested Affected, he will not show signs till after the age of two years. But you need to learn about strip testing and how it is done. Please again, go to www.basenjihealth.org and read about it. The best thing you can do for yourself and your Basenji is to learn as much as possible.

  • hi tanza, is that a real resault saying risk!>??? that's all they said to me today, on the phone. should i even to another test?, because i did kinda rubb tohard in the curcle area on the test.!!??

  • They should have emailed you a confirmation number that you can then go to the website and login and see the actual result.

    Here is the webpage to enter the confirmation number
    http://www.offa.org/orderstatus.html

    If you did not recieve a confirmation number, email ofa@offa.org and request a duplicate of your confirmation number.

  • i did get a confermation # but i type it in and get nothing!, but maybe you can and get something?. # SU44T-FBDBJ!

  • Or where on the site do i go to to get the resaults???.

  • I hope this isn't what I think it is. Who did you phone? Sorry, none of this makes sense to me.

  • the ofa.org site?> #573-442-0418!!! why>??????? could i have done the test wrong and thats' why there saying that/???>!!!

  • what do u thank it is>?????!!!

  • Give me a little time to check with some people and I will post when I get a response. Probably in a day or so.

  • thank u! i just went back on the ofa.org site and put my confermation # in and it came up but it's saying that he's ?t risk".!.please get back to me saap. and thank soooooo much for every ones'help here!. i'll take to u in a day or to!.thks again.!

  • Lisa, yourwonderful. I admire you so much!

  • Pedro, I am sorry, I made a mistake. Again, I am sorry.

  • what do u mean a mistake ? on what???>

  • I am very sorry to have to be the bearer of bad news but AT RISK means Probably Affected which is what will show up on the OFA website. Probably Affected dogs are not issued an OFA certificate.

  • That is sad news - I am sorry to hear it. Now it's most important to do as much for your dog, Pedro, that you can, by working very hard to keep your basenji as healthy as possible, and to find a good vet to work with. Others here will be able to offer you more information - I just send my best wishes.

  • hi, i talked to another breeder and she has never heard if a test coming back at risk!, and told me the same thing as ivoss was saying before that that is not a sure resault!. that it's not a diagnoses!to see if i can get another test at no charge!!!.

    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.

    I wish. Gypsy is getting old and having more problems – sometimes loses her balance, etc. -- and in response Jazzy is getting meaner to her. When the dogs are outside, Jazzy will wait on the porch for Gypsy. When Gypsy approaches the porch to come in, Jazz will run out growling and starting biting at her face. I've been able to curb it a little by letting Gypsy in, and then shutting the door and making Jazzy wait and sit before letting her in. Little things like that... Although other times she will curl up with Gypsy and sleepthere's never any kindness shown; Jazzy bosses her around more than ever, often even chasing Gypsy off of her bed so that Jazzy can lie down on it {I always make Jazzy get back off and let Gypsy back on}, even though Jazzy has a chair and her own bed. It makes me sad. Keoki on the other hand, seems quite oblivious and treats Gypsy the same as always. While those two never snuggle up, they are play-time buddies. Gypsy livens up a good bit when Keoki invites her to play.

    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.
