It sounds Sprocket pet is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. If the vet thinks it is more serious he will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong before starting the treatment.
