  Thanks for the kind words.  Has been up and down days.   Some days drinks water and soft food & seems better.  The next day's step backward.   
Regular vet checked him out  Saturday - and said other vet med seems to be correct and wanted to continue with antibiotic (finish the course - antibiotic was for 14 days), and stimulant.  He thought the dog looked stable and didn't see anything obvious - rechecked teeth, stomach, anal glad etc.  So looked more energetic Saturday/Sunday.  Bit less active today. 
On good side - with door bell, he automatically barks - and that has improved, don't see what he was doing before - where he would bark once, and seemed in pain and would stop.   Now he can bark more normal - but just does not bark as much.  
Vet gave Hill's prescription can food - soft/wet.  Ate it well for first few days, now seems like he is getting bored with that, but does eat a little.  Just avoids any hard stuff like treats and other usual things he would eat in past.    
On and off drinks water by himself, and noticed if i walk him out, and it is hot, then gets into drinking water.    Just lot of enticing and figuring out ways to get him to eat soft food and water.   
Thanks again for kind words - just hoping it keeps improving a small step at a time.
