My 4 month old pup got into my trash can. He licked up a little bit of dip spit and ate some of the trash. He’s been laying around all day and has thrown up a few times. He has runny diarrhea as well.

It sounds like Enzo has gotten into something that has upset his stomach. Given that he is throwing up and having diarrhea, I think he needs to see a vet now. With this combination of symptoms, I do not recommend a home remedy. Please take him into the vet first thing in the morning. Best of luck.
