I'm so sorry to hear this about Butter. :(
I worry in an older dog with vomiting and disinterest in food that they could have a serious illness, like organ failure or cancer. I worry that Butter might not be eating because he could be nauseous or have a painful belly ache. I'd recommend having him seen by a vet as soon as possible for a physical exam.
