Hello, I’m sorry to hear about Baboo. Based on the symptoms you are describing it sounds like Baboo is quite sick and should be seen by a veterinarian. Vomiting and diarrhea are nonspecific symptoms that can be a sign of many underlying diseases, such as problems within the GI tract (ingestion of foreign material, etc) or systemic problems (liver or kidney disease, pancreatitis, etc). Your veterinarian can examine Baboo and then discuss additional diagnostics such as systemic bloodwork and possibly X-rays. Hope this helps, good luck!

    It sounds as Baboo is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
