The treatment would depend on that may have poisoned Sky, but poisoning is not that common. It's more likely he has a GI illness. It's good that he's eaten a bit and isn't vomiting. I think it's a good plan to have him seen by the vet again tomorrow if he still isn't 100%. I hope he feels better soon.

    Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Vomiting can be caused by many conditions primarily gastrointestinal in nature such gastroenteritis and gastrointestinal foreign body ingestion and obstruction or other conditions such as pancreatitis or kidney disease. You could try a bland diet composed mainly of boiled chicken and white rice which is easily digestible and can help with an upset stomach. If this continues despite this diet and medications, I recommend that you have him reevaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Likely diagnostics to be performed include abdominal imaging and general bloodwork. Good luck and have a great day!
