If Harry is very anemic and dehydrated he needs to be seen by your vet in person. They will likely have to give him some IV or subcutaneous fluids along with medications to help treat the anemia. If he is refusing all food, your vet may also recommend inserting a feeding tube to help make it easier to force-feed food until he starts to recover. If he is at home with you, you can try to keep offering bland wet food, however it sounds as if hospitalization or at least in-person care from your vet is needed at this point.
