I'm sorry to hear of your concerns with Toby. It is possible that his appetite is decreased and his stomach is a little upset from the stress of being in a new environment. As long as he does not continue to vomit and he begins eating within 24 hours, I would not be concerned. If Toby is not drinking normally, becomes lethargic or develops any other symptoms such as diarrhea, I would recommend that you have him seen by a veterinarian.
