Poor guy. I would highly recommend having Bitu tested for exocrine pancreatitis insufficiency (EPI), which is a disease that can cause vomiting, loose stool and weight loss in pets and is an issue with his pancreas. This is a simple blood test and can hopefully diagnose the problem here. I would also recommend a baseline bloodwork panel on him as well to start. If these tests provide no solid reason for his symptoms, then the next step would be an abdominal ultrasound. Until you can get these tests done it is best to feed Bitu a bland diet of boiled plain chicken or lean ground turkey and white rice or a prescriptoin food such as Royal Canin GI low fat or Hill's I/D. These should be easier for him to digest and less likely to cause vomiting when compared to his normal diet. I do hope that with these suggestions you can diagnose the problem with Bitu soon! Best of luck and take care.
