This is not normal. He may have gotten into something that disagreed with his stomach, eaten something that has irritated his GI tract and/or is causing an obstruction, he may have been exposed to some kind of toxin, just to name a few possibilities. I recommend withholding food for 12-24 hours. This will give the gut a chance to rest. Let him have water, ice cubes to lick if he seems to want to gulp the water. After 12-24 hours, give him a tiny amount of his regular food, and wait for 30 minutes. If he eats it and it stays down, repeat the small amount. If all continues to go well, keep feeding him very small amounts until he has had his normal ration. If, however, he does not want to eat, continues to vomit, develops a fever and/or lethargy, get her in to see your vet or to an emergency clinic right away.
