It sounds as Sheru 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.

    Hello, sorry to hear about Sheru. It sounds like he may have some form of infection or GI disease. Thinks that can cause severe pain like this include having a foreign body in their intestines that could be causing an obstruction. Especially since his signs include vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. You should have Sheru evaluated by a veterinarian soon as he may need more aggressive intervention such as surgery. Please contact your local veterinarian and have them evaluate Sheru. Hope this helps and best of luck.
