He started throwing up on Saturday morning. Otherwise, he seemed okay, but he wasn't eating or drinking much. On Sunday, I made him a scrambled egg. but he threw that up too. He threw up all together about 8 times or so since then (with 4:00 this morning being the last time so far), and yesterday he still wasn't eating or drinking. I thought for sure he had gotten into something and had an intestinal blockage. So, this morning, we went to the vet and had x-rays done.

Luckily, the x-rays didn't show any foreign objects, but they showed that he was constipated. The vet seemed to think that's all it was, but I don't know. He gave him Flaggyl (It's an antibiotic for bacterial infections/giardia/ parasites. etc.) and he is supposed to take it 2x a day for a week.

Does anyone know of anything else (besides constipation) that could cause this throwing up that perhaps myself or my vet didn't think of? For now, we are just supposed to watch him. The vet said not even to feed him today - unless he goes and takes some food on his own, but he should get his appetite back in a couple of days.

Well that's the vet's opinion. So, what do all the YT experts here think??
