pluto is a fighter!

so my mother and father went to the vet. the doctor told them that pluto has a UTI and the infection unfortunately went up to his liver causing it to swell. he also has heartburn which explains the vomiting. he was given an antibiotic shot on top of the pill that he is to take everyday, a GERD medicine and a drug for his swollen liver. the vet advised us to let him eat baby food since he does not have any appetite and we wil just place it in his mouth if a 10 ml syringe. on the lighter side, he does not lay on his bed all day anymore, he ambulates fairly well, he barks like he used to but he does not play. he just wants to be petted and he does not respond to our usual roughhousing which means i have to be gentle on him now. i can see it his eyes that he really feels sick but tries to be well for the family. he walks to and fro around the house but on a melancholic fashion. he does not clean the other 2 dogs' ears like he used to do which i guess is too much effort on him already. overall, he is doing better now that he has taken his meds. i do hope he will get back in shape sooner. my brother even posted a get well soon status with pluto's picture in Facebook. we so want him to barking louder than ever in our house again!
