Hi Kelsie, I recommend that you take him into see a veterinarian. The vomiting that you are describing along with drinking a lot of water is concerning. The licking the carpet is often related with nausea or underlying GI issues as well. There can be many different causes for this including intestinal parasites, infection, inflammation of the GI tract, or a more serious underlying medical issue. Your vet can talk to you more about the cause of his symptoms after they have examined him. They may recommend some lab tests to help diagnose or rule out certain diseases. The treatment that he needs will depend on the underlying cause of his symptoms.
