Default Sick Little Boy - Advice

My baby boy (who is 6!) has been having some issues the last couple of days. He has had the runs and throwing up bile. I tried to get him in every vet in our area (even ours) and they couldn't see him. They told me I could leave him for the vet to look at, later at night around 11. But that's all they could do.

It's slowed down a LOT. But now if he eats, he throws part of it back up. It's totally food. He's drinking lots and the runs are def better today. More solid for sure.

I called my friend who is a vet, he told me to give him half an immodium. We needed to get it stopped from one end or the other. So I did, and I would say his stools are just loose now. Not watery. He also told me most of his clients with Yorkies have the same issues when they give them something to eat different. Even a little treat! After a few days he should be fine. He is drinking and eating. Just not holding all the food down. The only thing different was for 2 days at my mom's he ate a TON of their food. Which ALWAYS makes him have the runs.

My question is - even though he's fine and running around playing and acts ok, should I take off work tomorrow morning and take him? Or try the emergency vet tonight? Or just wait it out??? I teach and have PT Conferences tomorrow, so I won't be able to be gone with him all day. I worry about him so much. I always do!
