There could be a couple of things causing Prince to vomit including GI illness, parasites, eating something rotten, a foreign body, and pancreatitis. Vomiting seven times in 30-40 minutes is quite a lot, and this requires an immediate vet visit. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck.
