    Just got a call from the surgeon. Mavericks surgery went well! I had him take xrays of his hips too, and it's confirmed that he does have mild hip dysplaysia. Which isn't much of a surprise to anyone, but still hurts my heart.
    The breeder had gotten back to me and confirmed that the parents are OFA certified, and that nothing has turned up in any of the moms or dads other litters. She's very concerned and asked me many questions. We had taken extra care of our little pup, from the best nutritious food, to no jumping off anything higher than the couch, etc.
    I feel fairly sad about this whole ordeal, and I just want to give my dog the best life he can possibly have

    Aww, poor baby. Hope he has a fast recovery.

    Mini update
    He's healing very very well! He can walk better now than he could pre-op. Have him eating the wet version of his brand of dog food, because he was losing weight. Just want him to get nutrition for now and we'll break the habit later

    Another mini update, this will probably be the last one until his next surgery (which we will try to hold off until winter I think)
    He is doing so good! He had a check up about 2 weeks ago, and the surgeon said he is honestly shocked at how fast he is healing up. But since he's young his bone plates aren't fully formed and so we still have to be extra careful. No running/jumping/playing for another 4 weeks still.
    Here is 2 pictures from 1 week ago, at our local beach.

    I've posted a ton of pictures but not sure why I haven't posted any videos. So here is some if any of you would like to see. None of these are more than 30 seconds long. They will be in chronological order, to kind of show the process of before and after.

    Click the picture to play the video.

    His second leg is much worse off than the first was but do not have any videos yet.

    First surgery was on 4-18-13.

    Here is him this morning before work, waiting for the consult. Dropping him off for surgery tomorrow early in the AM.

    It was funny, Maverick (our rott) is a friendly dog. A little stand offish with men but is still a very good and well behaved dog.
    The second the surgeon from the first surgery walked in Maverick started growling at him continuously for 5 minutes. Like saying "hey!!!! I remember you "
    Eventually he calmed down and crawled over the surgeon and made himself be pet.
