It sounds as Teddy 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.

    If teddy is continuing to vomit despite treatment, he needs to be examined again. When pets don't respond to treatment as expected, it can mean the underlying cause has not been identified. Further diagnostics may be needed. I hope this helps and that teddy feels better quickly.
