Chevy needs to see a vet. It's not normal for a dog to vomit two to three times a day, and it's clear that he's suffering from it based on your description of his weight loss. This chronic vomiting could be caused by a food allergy, IBD (irritable bowel disease), GI ulcers, or a partially obstructed foreign body. I would take him to the vet as soon as possible. The vet can do a physical exam, routine blood tests, a urinalysis, and possibly x-rays to diagnose what is causing him to vomit so much. Once a cause found, the vet can institute a treatment
