Glad to hear that Ceeby is feeling better. Did your vet tell you to worm him or did I misread your post? My vets say never to do those sorts of things when they are not tip top, but that just might be our preference.
Also, I know it is said that they can go without food and water for up to 24 hours when they are sick with a GI problem but I cannot imagine letting these little younguns go that long..so it is a good thing that you forced liquids.
An older vet in the practice says there is a "gut-to-stomach communication" and gut tells tummy NOT to send anything down there cause gut cannot take care of it. That seems to be true--when these younguns get diarrhea they go off their food, too.
Anyhow, sounds like you and hubby did all the right things...try to get rest!
