It sounds as Yogi is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better.

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Yogi. I'm sorry he's sick, and you did the right thing by taking him into the vet. It could be he has a GI illness, may have eaten something rotten, could have a foreign body, or could have pancreatitis. Hopefully the medication and bland diet will help him, but if it doesn't, take him back into the vet. Best of luck.
