Yesterday evening I spoke to the vet on the phone. According to him Oscar is periodically up and down. At 4.30pm in the afternoon, the vet went in to take a look at him and he said Oscar actually stood up and wagged his tail. But when he went in again at 6pm Oscar was quite flat again.
The vet also did a blood test that showed that his white blood cells were really high, which signified that he's fighting against a really huge infection. His red blood count was really low even after the jab he received so it is a big concern. He's still vomitting and having bloody diarrhea. Temperature is normal.
I'm not sure what to make of the news. Everytime we received seemingly good news the next moment our hopes would be dashed. I just hope my little fighter will continue fighting. We are all rooting for you Oscar.

Called up the hospital and the vet told me that Oscar seems brighter and perkier, his stools have hardened ever so slightly and he hasn't vomitted since yesterday. Of course the low red blood cells are still a concern. However, we are just thankful for these nuggets of good news. They give us slivers of hope and we are holding onto them ever so tightly at such a time.
Oscar is still not interested in food though and if you are a dog owner you know dogs can NEVER resist food. Well unless (1) you're either offering them things they dislike or (2) they're sick. C'mon Oscar! Fighting! :)
