The problem may be gastrointestinal (infection, inflammation, neoplastic) or only dietary related or related to pancreatic/liver inflammation and many others. Depending on his general condition a check up is more or less immediately needed. As first line treatment, I would suggest to withhold food for the next 8 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken (or white fish) and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you lethargy or inappetence.
