Maverick is 13½! Can you believe we have had him for 5 years. A journey we didn't know about, ask for, or were prepared for when picking him up from the shelter with no medical concerns or notes only to have him bleeding from a tumor upon transport. WE stuck by him. YOU stuck by him. Maverick has been through so much and passed over due to his health until we placed him as a forever foster so we could continue his care. THANK YOU for all you have done for him.
Maverick has had 6 surgeries on his sheath/groin area and has no extra skin to remove the ones that keep coming back now. He also had the ones on his back leg removed. The hemangiosarcomas on his sheath started growing back faster and then the neck one popped up. We are keeping Maverick comfortable with meds, supplements, and his monthly adequan injection. He has been a fighter through this all! His quality of life is still there and he absolutely LOVES hanging out with my female dog as well as my parents female dog when she comes over. Happy hops and tail wags are all we can ask for ♥︎♥︎
Maverick hasn't had an accident in what seems like forever! I am thinking it is just tummy trouble ls from a bad bag of dog food or something. I ordered metronidazole and dewormer to cover all basis. He and one of my personal dogs has sensitive stomachs, so they both had it for two days after opening the new bag. I have been using Costco 40lb bags for years now and praying we don't have to switch to more expensive food.
I am going to try to be better about posting for what remaining time he has. Maybe weekly updates since we only have 2 sanctuary cases.
