Poor Diesel! Ongoing vomiting/heaving and extreme lethargy are a conceding set of symptoms. I would recommend taking Diesel to your regular veterinarian as soon as possible to see what is going on. He may simply have some gastritis (stomach irritation/inflammation) from eating something he shouldn't, or he could have an intestinal obstruction or even a twisted stomach. Your vet will do a thorough physical exam and likely will recommend additional diagnostics such as X-rays. If they feel Diesel is dehydrated they may recommend he stay in the hospital for IV fluids and medications to help him feel better. I hope you are able to get to the bottom of it, and that Diesel feels better soon.
