I would give him a bland diet like plain boiled boneless, skinless chicken and white rice to see if this helps. If he continues to vomiting, be lethargic, or have diarrhea, I would strongly recommend to have your vet take a look at him. Eating vegetable cooking oil is high in fat and he could have developed pancreatitis which will need some medical therapy to help him improve. Pancreatitis is when the pancreas becomes very inflamed and irritated and is usually caused by eating trash or something high in fat. I hope this helps and Nixon starts to feel better soon!
