thank you everyone for being so kind with your input and advice. I am going to call the vet today and ask if maybe tonight I can start him back on boiled white rice with chicken. I am happy to say since I posted this, Izzy is back to his old self. He's got his little zip back in his trot 

 and he has been taking the Pedialyte w no problems. That alone makes me feel better. Thank you for all the well wishes. I'm glad I found this site.
