Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I agree with you that Oreo needs to go to a vet. It sounds like you should do your best to not wait until Tuesday. If there is a 24 hour clinic in your area, or if your vet provides after-hours care, then I would get Oreo in right away. There isn't really anything you can do for him at home given what you have described. Usually if you call your vet, even if they are closed they will leave a message that tells you who to call in case of an emergency. If your vet doesn't have this try other vets in your area. Best of luck with Oreo.
