He is vomiting bile becsuse there is nothing in his stomach to vomit up. This is way too many episodes of vomiting and this is vey concerning for a possible foreign body obstruction or severe gastritis. I would recommend taking him in to your vet for treatment because he likely won't respond to at home care due to the severity of the vomiting. They vet can give him anti-vomit medicaiton and do abdominal radiographs to check for an obstruction. I hope everything works out for Rodney and I am hoping he just has a really bad stomach upset from something he ate. Don't offer him any food for at least 12 hrs to allow his stomach to settle if you can't get him in to the vet right away. Then offering small amounts of a bland diet of boiled plain chicken and rice or cottage cheese can be tried. Best wishes and take care.
