He would not be allowed to have bullies, or any other treats aside from vegetables or chicken breast etc.
This is where I am at right now. I am not planning on feeding him a food with higher fat than 10%, honestly. I've found quite a few that could possibly fit the bill.

I will be searching for some kind of chew that is safe for him in the future. I will consult with this vet as well as his original vet and if I can find a certified nutritionist, I will be doing this as well.

Just to be clear, he was on IV fluids from Sunday afternoon-Monday evening. He was not on fluids Tuesday-Thursday. Was given sub-q fluids Thursday, Friday and yesterday (Sunday).
