Poor Kenji! This definitely doesn't seem like normal activity. It is not normal for a dog to vomit often. It could be viral infection, parasites, a GI obstruction, a foreign body, and much more. Since he is sleeping a lot as well, I would have your vet take a look at him. Your vet will be able to try and determine the cause and get him started on some meds to help him feel better. They will also be able to assess his hydration and give him fluids if needed. I Hope this helps!
