I am sorry to hear that your pet is so ill. Unfortunately with those symptoms we would not be able to pinpoint exactly what is wrong because those symptoms are not unique to one particular disease or condition. A number of things could be causing symptoms of vomiting, nausea and respiratory problems, including kidney disease, primary lung disease, cancer, heart disease and even infection. I would highly recommend taking him in to your local vet for testing (bloodwork +/- radiographs) to determine what the underling problem is exactly so that we know what he needs to hopefully get well again. 20 days is a long time to go on being ill. Poor guy. I hope that you get some answers soon and can help him. Below is a financial aid website if you are having financial difficulty getting him proper veterinary care. Best wishes and take care. http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html
