Your poor dudes! daily vomit is not nice for anyone
just a thought, you do seem to have offered a lot of different foods in a fairly short space of time? this in inself can make them vomit and cause runny bottoms as quick diet changes upset the gut bacteria.
i suspect if you took them to your vet they would suggest worming? just to rule that out as an issue and then starve for 12 hours and slowly reintroduce a bland diet (chicken and rice) or a premade hypoallergenic diet. then choose which one diet you are going to introduce, do it slowly ( a tablespoon at a time ) and if the vomiting restarts go back to the bland diet until it stops again.
sorry if you have alreday done this, im not trying to patronise, just help
hope you get it sorted soon.

Thanks for the advice. They are getting monthly worming treatments at the moment - until 6 months old. One more to go.
All the foods they have eaten in the last two weeks they have had before and regularly. I simply took all of the variety away when the problem started. I agree that going back to basics is probably how to do this. For now, I will leave to Orijen down but give them white fish tonight and tomorrow. See what happens.

Could it be worth trying less richer foods with them too,if I gave a couple of mine the "richer" type foods more than occasionally they would also have runny bums,they luv HI Life but any more than every third morning we would all suffer along with them hence mine are on good old Felix in jelly,I also have had mine off of kitten biscuits pretty quick & onto adult,not so rich for their tums either & none of them have suffered any problems with their growth patterns.....

Aaaaargh! This is too complicated. Now, Dicky has a little heaving session in the night over my in-house sweat pants - I shouldn't leave them on the floor but at least they protected the carpet - and I checked the litter tray there was something "too soft" there. Cleaned out said litter tray while the boys ate Colley for breakfast and then Dikcy proceeded to go into the litter tray (after Bert, who it seems could eat chillis without effect, and we know who's going to be called "fat boy") and I quietly observed him lay a perfectley acceptable turd. Oh, the joys of fatherhood.
So, I am going to continue to leave down the Orijen which has been OK for 24 hours for Leo, going to feed them white fish and HiLife alternating and hopefully if they all "man up" their guts I will reintroduce the Bozita very slowly mixed with HiLife.
That's this morning plan. Until it meets this afternoon, of course,

Almost, almost. Leo threw up his dinner(s) of unchewed white fish lumps but not much HiLife (which came afterwards, 2 hours later as they were still crying for food). Looks like he is either teething or not chewing properly. The Orijen has been fine and they are grazing it, but since I am spoiling them with 3-4 meals a day while on holiday it's not getting much attention. From today it's 3 small meals, then 2 tomorrow and back to work on Tuesday.
Dicky has put his weight back on, but now Leo is on a plateau. HiLife for now, now much chewing involved.
Here's the graph including this morning.
