My name is Maverick, I was born September 9th, 2007. In 2011 my pawents found a little bump on my left hind leg. The vet said it was nothing. He was wrong. It grew. I got a new Vet! I tried chemo for 4 months, it didn’t go away. My new vet tried to remove it. He couldn’t get all of it. Tomorrow, July 30, 2012 I will become a Tripawd. Wish me well.

Welcome Maverick! And best wishes for a complete, speedy recovery. Please keep us posted.
Mavrick has a mass cell tumor on his left hind leg just below the hock. The waiting is killing us. I hope the vet calls soon.

I’ve been home for less than 24 hours. Thanks to Tripawds.com my pawrent and my grandpawrents were prepared. Last night went pretty good. I don’t like the trimadol, makes me cry. but… on the up side…this afternoon, I jumped up when my uncle Max barked at a crash of thunder. I proceded to go out to the front yard all by myself and pee’d and poop’d all by myself. My grandpaw told my maw (she’s at work) she was so proud of me. I’ve been out 3 times now…. I’m pooped! When grandpaw figures out this site works,he’s gona post some pictures and videos. Thanks for all the kind works.
On October 30th, 2014 Maverick lost his courageous battle with cancer. He was an amazing dog, a real fighter to the very end. He died peacefully in my arms.
