It sounds as theyt is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. I would recommend taking them to the vet the first chance you get, they will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection they will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
