Poor Jojo! There could be a couple of reasons why he is vomiting and had some diarrhea. It could be he has a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, or could have a foreign body. I can give you a home remedy to try to see if that helps. I recommend withholding food for 8 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
