Dog ate a lot of greasy food yesterday; since last night diarrhea, this morning vomiting and diarrhea, no interest in food
Before the vomiting, diarrhea, and refusal to eat, the dog ate much greasy food, so this is mainly indigestion causing gut flora imbalance or gastroenteritis.

My dog vomited at night; first undigested kibble, then about five times with nothing left, still retching
