Electrolytes would be great. I would give about 120CC of Propylene Glycol. However you are going to have a hard time finding it on the weekend. Honey or Waffle syrup will work. Karo Syrup will work also. Propylene Glycol is just somewhat of a timed release supplement so you do not have to tube him so much. Always rinse the tube out with water befoer you remove it. Propylene glycol and high sugar content liquids burn the throat and the water will wash it out to help. I would give him at least a pint of water and add about 3 drops of plain palmolive hand dishwashing liquid. He may have a frothy type bloat that causes him to feel full but he really is empty. Take his temperature if possible. At this stage, you don't want to use an antibiotic if not necessary. It would just killl off the good stuff in the gut. If you can find some probios or that type of supplement it would help.
Try dog food if he will eat. Mine will eat dog food when they are full as a tick. Let me know what you have tried and what the temp is and I will try to help.
