Chronic vomiting could be due to kidney failure, pancreatitis, hyperthyroidism and many more medical conditions. i would recommend having a blood test doe at your vet's, this should help revile what is causing this.

Poor Snoop! I'm not sure if any tests were done on him when he saw the vet, and there could be a number of reasons causing his daily vomiting. They include kidney failure, liver disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, and cancer. It is not normal he is vomiting daily, and he needs to go back to the vet. I recommend getting a geriatric blood panel and urinalysis as a start to try to get an idea of what is causing his vomiting. Depending on those results, your vet may want to do further testing such as x-rays or an ultrasound. I would take him into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
