He may just have a bad case of acid reflux. This is common in pets that are otherwise happy and healthy and vomit up bile. You should talk to your vet about prescribing some antacids for Cooper to see if this helps. It can take a week or two to see results. If this doesn't help then other possible causes are a gallbladder issue, liver problem, or kidney problem just to name a few. Baseline bloodwork would be the next best step towards finding out if there are any other underlying causes that need to be treated for in order to get Cooper back to normal. I hope that you can help your pet Cooper stay regular and vomit free! Take care.
