Joel has given you excellent advice. Another thing to try is strained baby veggies, like Gerber Nature's Harvest. He may eat some off of a baby spoon for you.

The best way to know whether or not he's eating is to examine poops. They should be firm and have 3 seperate components: clear (urates) white and either brown or green solids. If you aren't seeing droppings, he's simply not eating properly.

In the future, I advise you to place an order for Lactated Ringers solution from www.avitec.com. They will sell you the syringes and solution without a prescription. However, its really too late for that now. It would take too long for it to get to you for this case. Again, keep him warm and away from drafts.
