Hi again, and you're most welcome.

If he's been sprayed with bio spot, yes, the chances he could have licked it off are great, and as you suspect, and it could be causing his vomiting. Applying an effective monthly flea/tick/mosquito preventative sold by the vet or online at a discounted price, like K9-Advantix, is a better idea, and if you apply it on the back of his neck, and down the middle of his back, as directed, he can't reach to lick it.

Pus on the head of the penis may indicate a urinary tract infection or skin irritation from the flea/tick spray or something he's contacting outside, when he sits. For the moment, gently clean the area with a cool, damp cloth and keep him indoors. He really should be evaluated by a vet, in person, but I completely understand your financial limitations at this time. Perhaps contacting these organizations (if you're located in the U.S.) will get you help in paying for the vet fees and medications:
