What you are describing are some very general signs, and unfortunately it's going to take a bit of detective work in the form of a vet visit for exam and testing to figure out what's going on. Vomiting could be due to a number of causes, both GI-related (infection with virus or bacteria, parasites, foreign body blockage) and non-GI (kidney disease, toxin exposure, liver disease, etc). The lethargy (only walking) is a very general sign that usually occurs when animals don't feel well, and the lower back pain could be related to GI issues (i.e. abdominal pain) or another problem entirely. Please get Daytona seen by his vet right away to start figuring out what is going on, if he is still displaying these signs.
