There is nothing more you can do at home I am afraid JJ really does need urgent veterinary care if his condition is to be stabilised. It sounds like he may have parvo virus which can be life threatening - he would need an antibiotic to prevent additional bacterial infections as well as additional fluids and liquid diets in order to promote recovery but be aware that not all cases survive even when treated
