There are numerous reasons why he may be vomiting and not eating, but unfortunately it will require an exam and possibly other diagnostic tests in order to determine the diagnosis. If his issues have gone in for more than 24-48 hours, your veterinarian should look at him to see what may be going on. He may have a bacterial infection, viral infection, may have eaten something that is making him sick, may have kidney or liver issue or possibly a mass or tumor involving the GI tract. Since he vomits anything he is ingesting, it is really not possible to treat this at home. Dozer should see his veterinarian ASAP.
