Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description, Frollo may be dehydrated and nauseous. I would recommend having him seen by a veterinarian to assess how dehydrated he is and so that the veterinarian can help determine what the problem is. Frollo may need anti-vomiting / nausea medications to prevent him from continuing to vomit. If he does not improve with veterinary care, then the next step would be abdominal x-rays or an ultrasound to make sure that there is no GI foreign body obstruction or other cause. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
