Poor Kyle. I recommend to call his veterinarian and tell them what is going on. They may add on medication to soothe his stomach, an appetite stimulant or they may ask to examine him again to check for/treat and ongoing fever. Since he is not wanting to eat on his own, he needs medication to help him recover. I hope this helps and that he starts feeling better quickly.
