Answer
Call your vet immediately and get an appointment TODAY. Tell them you're not waiting and if they can't take you, go to a different vet.
He should have been dewormed at 7 weeks of age with appropriate medicine from a veterinarian, and then again at 12 weeks with the same medicine. The parvo shot should have been done earlier too.
If he doesn't drink, especially at his age and size he runs a high risk of dehydration and death.
I'm serious you need to get him to a veterinarian NOW.
I hope everything is OK.  DON'T WAIT UNTIL FRIDAY.
Good luck!!!
