Default Mavies Really Sick

I am kinda in freak out mode right now. Maverick has been sick for the past 3 days now and I don't know what to do for him.

On Labor Day we went to my brothers for a Family BBQ and took the dogs with us. They had a good time playing with the kids and other dogs there, but I think my nephew fed Mavie too many treats. Also a plate of Hamburgers fell over he got a hold of one and apparently ate the entire thing, mind you he is only like 2.5lbs. Keely ate a bit too much as well, but I don't think quite as much but she is bigger than he is too. She was not feeling so hot, but that was only for like a day and shes back to her old self again.

Since then he has been very sluggish and just sleeps in his bed and rarely gets out, only to go potty on his pad and when he does it is really rank diarrhea that smells like spoiled milk and garbage. Plus he has thrown up at least a dozen times now. He hasn't eaten or drank anything in almost 3 days which is my main concern. Rachael and I have given him some Pepto to calm his stomach, but that doesn't seem to work and we tried giving him some Pumpkin because Brenny said that is good for calming their stomachs but he didn't want anything to do with it.

Last night he showed signs of improvement and was in bed with us and was playing around with Keely. I thought everything would be fine and the worst of it was over, but then when we woke up this morning he was all sluggish again, pooped some more nasty diarrhea and threw up 4 more times. Not much, but small spots mainly because there is nothing left in the poor little guy to get out.

I have a plunger type thing that we used to give him the Pepto in that I filled with water and shot down his throat so he is at least having some form of liquids in him.

What should I do? Should I hold off and see how he progresses today or take him to the vet? Thanks in advance for the advice.
