Popeye sounds very sick. At this point in time, I would not recommend a home remedy. It's quite serious he's lost a lot of weight, has not eaten properly for weeks, and is throwing up. This combination of symptoms is a medical emergency, and he should see a vet now. Please take him into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
