I'm sorry to hear that Dylan is experiencing so much vomiting. If it is still continuing, he will need to see his veterinarian. Profuse vomiting can have several causes, but the most worrisome is a foreign body obstruction. This occurs when a cat eats something such as a hair band, a piece of string or a toy. It then becomes blocked in the intestine causing the cat to vomit. I hope this information helps!
