take him to a different vet... sounds like he ate something possibly poisonous... give him lots of water and let him vomit it out

See if you can look down it's throat. see if he swallowed something.
Take the food & water away for now, just give it some ice.

when my vet is closed they leave a number on the machine for another vet who is handling all of the emergency cases.

Is he still sick? It could be that he has eaten something he needs to toss (onions, pens). If he is still eating and has not thrown up since, just keep an eye on him. If it is foamy it could be because his stomach is empty.

No, no. How many times has he thrown up? how far apart?

Sometimes our dogs do that after they eat grass. Then they puke up a huge ball of half digested grass. It's lovely.

Absolutely Onions and Chocolate are toxic and can kill dogs especially if they are small. Take him to the vet ASAP.
