Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend taking Shiro back to the vet with a fresh stool sample to check for intestinal parasites. If normal I would recommend an abdominal X-ray to rule out a foreign body. It may not be the food and there could be something serious. He should not be vomiting daily and I worry he could dehydrate. Good luck and kisses to Shiro!
