If he hasn't vomited again, and is starting to settle down, you can monitor him for and hour or two. Watch for continued restlessness and stretching, which can indicate abdominal discomfort and pain. If he's getting better you can offer a very small (1/4 to 1/2 cup) meal of boiled white meat chicken and boiled white rice. If he holds that down and seems interested offer more an hour later. Continue this as long as he continues to improve. If he continues to vomit he will unfortunately need medical care as he could have a gastrointestinal infection, he could have eaten something that has upset his system or even an intestinal blockage.
