Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I am sorry to hear Swirl isn't feeling well. With that much vomiting and diarrhea, I would be concerned for something serious going on internally. I recommend taking Swirl to a vet right away. The picture looks a lot more like diarrhea than vomit, but either way, it is not normal. The vet will perform an exam and probably recommend diagnostic testing. I would start with a stool sample to check for microscopic parasites. They may also need to check blood work and x-rays for metabolic problems or gastrointestinal obstructions. Once a diagnosis is made, they can start Swirl on a treatment to stop the vomiting and diarrhea and replenish the fluids he lost in the last few days. Good luck and kisses to Swirl!
