Yes, he's still with me. <3 I tried to syringe feed him again last night, and it didn't go well although he tried to eat (he almost seemed to choke on it). I administer the fluids, and it's almost instantly absorbed; maybe I'm not even giving him enough, and he IS dehydrating despite it? I'll ask the vet today about withholding fluids (they DO sedate humans who do this, usually with morphine, as well as lubricating their mouths to eliminate the discomfort) but won't put him through any more of this. I'll bring him in for euthanasia tomorrow if he hasn't passed on his own by then. It is NOT a good feeling to just watch him deteriorate...
I guess it really is true: better a day too early than a week too late! A lesson hard learned.
