Poor little soul. I was curious what you were feeding before he became ill....I know feeding raw diet can cause this issue, as their little intestinal flora is not built up enough to handle raw food and what it takes to digest these foods. When he gets thru this, he will need bland meals....my 9 week old babies are on gruel made with a little goats milk, Royal Canin Puppy Starter mousse. You can add a teaspoonful of Gerber baby food chicken to that mix if he is reluctant to eat...and let him lick it off your finger, progress to licking it up out of a shallow saucer. I also give mine Dr.Millers Pet Nutra-Drops,1cc every 4 hours around the clock....it assists with the stress of weaning and contains the glucose needed to prevent any issues with hypoglycemia brought on by not eating/weaning. You can even mix 2-3cc in with the gruel you are feeding...they LOVE this stuff and will take it happily and it is not as sticky and messy as Nutra-Cal. I would also ask the vet about probiotics added to the baby's food....
