I called back and they told me the dog had elevated eofinophiles (or something like that) and the vet thought he had worm. He gave him worm treatment, not prevention. The secretary told me she went to see the dog and he looked much better.
I told her I would call her back.
I would also ask why the IV support and what is in the IV.... not confrontational, but because I would want the information.
And exactly what is the diagnosis, tentative or otherwise, that calls for the IV? Parasites or an allergic reaction? Or what?

They gave him a yellow liquid to swallow. I'm pretty sure it was for heartworm.
I feel like you are criticizing me for letting a vet do what he thinks is right to help my dog. I'm not a doctor and had no choice but to let him treat my animal because he was clearly sick at the moment.

Joe, I understand how you could feel this way, but believe me, these people are asking rapid-fire questions only because they care so much and are so concerned about any distressed animal. I can assure you – and I AM speaking for all of the posters – that in no way are they criticizing you for anything you are doing to try to help your dog. We all tend to forego niceties when an animal’s health is on the line.
Not sure how hard the dog was exercised or what part of the country you are from, but there is a possibility the dog was exhibiting signs of heat exhaustion which could lead to heat stroke. You may not want to run such a young dog, especially right after eating.

Please keep us informed – we all really do care.
Ditto.
Also, we were replying to this O.P.: "Should I take him home to a more relaxed environment? I'm not sure what they are monitoring him for, but if he gets worse I can simply take him back. Last time I left a dog in a vets office they called me the next day to tell me the dog had died."
We all want to know that the dog is OK, and I am sure he will be. Please update!
