Hello. I just read through your question. The symptoms you describe sound like a stomach virus. These can last a few days before resolving on their own. The most important task is to make sure he stays well hydrated. If he dehydrates (ie: doesn't urinate for 24 hours), you would need to take him yo the ER. His food intake may decrease, but as ling as takes fluids and maintains hydration, you can avoid the ER visit.
