I'm sorry to hear that Lil One is vomiting so frequently. This is a serious problem as he will become dehydrated like you mentioned. He needs to see his veterinarian. He could have eaten a foreign object such as a piece of string or toy that is now blocking his intestines. If that is not the case, he could have an internal problem such as kidney or thyroid disease. He will likely need bloodwork, a urinalysis and possibly x-rays. Continue to offer him small amounts of water frequently to help keep him hydrated. I hope this helps. Good luck!
