Since he is otherwise acting normal, you could withhold food for the day and then try a bland diet of chicken and white rice. If the vomiting continues and/or he becomes lethargic than he needs to be examined by a vet to determine the cause. He could have an infection, parasite, metabolic/endocrine disease, pancreatitis, obstruction, etc. Your vet can run lab work and take x-rays, if needed, to help diagnose and then determine the best way to treat. He may need medications to control the vomiting and fluids to prevent dehydration. If your vet is not open than you will need to find an emergency clinic to treat him. Hope he feels better soon.
