He has thrown up 3 times this week but it was after he ate grass. And his poops are no good. He’s eating Grainfree honest kitchen

Poor Buns! I would take him into the vet to get checked out. It could be a change of diet causing his symptoms if you are feeding him something different from what he had before. Regardless, because he's been having these symptoms for a bit, it's time to see a vet. I would take him into one in the morning. Best of luck.
