  He needs ideally to be seen as soon as possible as this can cause severe dehydration and his condition could get worse rapidly.
  You might try at home to withhold food for the next 6 hours and then start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.
  
  I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice diarrhoea, more vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
  Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

  I would talk to your vet about giving him an appetite stimulant like entice or mirtazapine. I would also recommend him to have some abdominal x-rays to look for an obstruction. With his age, this would be my biggest concern. If they can't see anything for sure on x-rays they can do a barium study which is where they give him a solution to swallow and as it goes through his GI tract, it highlights it on x-rays. This helps to diagnose a foreign body or an obstruction. Unfortunately, I think there needs to be more diagnostics done to determine WHY he isn't eating. I hope this helps!
