Confused Hemorrhagic Diarrhea

My 6yo yorkie, Prince, developed a sudden onset of bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Went to the vet and first thought colitis, gave him a shot for nausea and pills which I could not get down him. Later in day he became worse, with frequent episodes of bright red diarrhea. Told by vet to try to give him pepto and Gatorade but couldn't get much down. Took him to vet hospital, they gave him ~1L of iv fluids and iv antibiotics and was told it is probably hemorrhagic diarrhea. Might be able to bring him home tonight after 1 night in hospital but I've read this can recur. Has anyone had to deal with this before? (It's horrible! and very serious)
