Answer
Did the Dr test for Parvo? This sounds like an intestinal virus, but if it is not getting better, then an x-ray may be a good idea to rule out possible ingestion or Bloat( when the stomach actually flips causing the intestins to be closed off). Also, what did the Dr perscribe? Reglan, or Metronidizole?? It is also possible to get Giardia from drinking stagnant water. I think that regardless if you dog is not getting better then it is time to go back, dehydration happens quicker than you may think and even only for fluids, I would take him back.
